Pomegranates fruit on short shoots or spurs near the ends of branches which remain productive for 3-4 years, after that cut to a younger side branch to renew fruiting wood.
If you cut the ends of all branches, no fruit will be produced!
Pomegranates sucker heavily, so remove all suckers (shoots coming up from the roots) as they reduce the vigour of the tree.
