I planted a pomegranate shrub which was about 3 feet tall at the time of planting about 5 years ago.  This was a transplant from a prior home.  There was a logical division noticed when transplanting, so I divided into two plants.  One plant has grown to about 5 feet tall and has never had a flower bloom or fruit, even though the plant appears to be healthy.  The second division has grown to 12 feet tall and it too is healthy.  Last year there were a couple flower blooms and I was able to pick one rather small but tasty fruit.  This year there were zero blooms.  

I have purchased two more plants which are about 6 feet tall each, rather leggy, but each is many flowers.  I plan on planting them today in approximately the same location, but about 20 feet apart.  All plants receive sun.  

My question is how I should prune the plants that have been planted for several years so that they will have blooms next year.  I will wait on doing any pruning on the newly planted shrubs for a year or so until they have time to acclimate to the area....unless someone advises me to do differently.

Thanks.

You did not mention where you live but they do well in Texas.  Trim late winter into early spring & stop.  It depends on which variety that you have for fruit.  If you want to keep them as bushes trim off suckers or else it will grow into a tree.  feb, may & sept devide 2 cups of ammonia sulfate and keep grass a ft or 2 away....mulch to hold soil moist.........Happy summer.  We can't grow them up in 5a so enjoy them.
