It's Almost My Birthday!! ISA Certified Arborist Is Pruning a Pomegranate Tree with Extreme Wisdom!!

At the wise age of almost 66, Ismael Vargas has 30+ years of landscaping knowledge and today he's sharing it while pruning a pomegranate tree! Karma strikes back at him here as thorns from the pomegranate tree get him a few times. Did you know Pomegranate trees had thorns? Some are massive! Proper footing is required.
Additional highlights include:
-safety and time saving skills using a tripod ladder
-simple pruning techniques (remove and/or cut back water growth and suckers, remove dead material-they can attract insects, remove crossing branches, open up the canopy)
-winter is a good time to prune deciduous trees and stone fruit trees
-pruning in spring can be done to remove water growth, suckers and open up the canopy
-build a low canopy to harvest fruit easier
-remove suckers at the bottom of the tree but leave some branches as they will fruit
-time is money, time is life
-be safe, work fast but keep the high quality of your work
-customers don't like you because you're handsome, pretty or smart; they like you because you do a good job
-leave the little branches alone
I hope with all these ideas that I've given you, you can go there and work on your own tree and make the tree every year be healthy and productive and also have a beautiful shape.
Good luck on your next project, see you soon!

I love how he takes his time cutting the stems one by one unlike here in Scottsdale where all the gardeners I've encountered brutally use their power saws for everything. I love how he cares for the trees, takes pride in his job, and develops a professional relationship with his clients. Thanks for making this video.

[@VargasLandscapingPresents]

Thank you very much!! I appreciate you noticing the time I take caring for the trees and branch structure. My power comes from my Felco hand tools!! 😆 Hope you are staying cool this summer in Scottsdale!

I was searching and searching for a pruning video for a LARGE mature pomegranate tree. This helped me so much! Appreciated.

[@VargasLandscapingPresents]

Thank you for your comment. I’m so happy to know it helped you with your mature pomegranate tree! You will inspire me to continue making a variety of videos. Pura Vida!

[@VargasLandscapingPresents]

Thank you for letting me know! As I’m getting older I want to share my pruning knowledge in these videos (my wife’s idea actually, 🤣).

Superb!

Вам очень повезло с климатом!! Вы не укрываете гранаты зимой! А нам приходиться пригибать и укрывать на зиму, так как гранат выдерживает максимум 13 мороза, а у нас все 30 бывает с минусом зимой!😢

[@VargasLandscapingPresents]

Wow, that’s great you cover it for the winter! I am lucky for the climate here in Southern California, that’s for sure. Thank you for your comment. Pura Vida! 🌴

Thank you. I am living in Spain and have 15 large over grown pomogranit trees. At least now I kinda know what to do.

You're welcome! Thank you for your support! Pura Vida!

[@haphazardgardener8651]

I love the shape of that tree. Mine just started fruiting this year but the fruit was small and it looked good on the inside but it was brown on the outside. So thank you because now I know I will have to prune it so it can start to take shape

[@VargasLandscapingPresents]

I’m so happy the video helped you! Best of luck! 🍀
