We just bought a home that has a pomegranate tree in the back yard. The realtor trimmed off quite a bit of the tree when he tried to sell the house.

The realtor left the center/main trunk untrimed and chopped-off all the secondary trunks at the bottom.... and now all the 'trimmed-trunks' starting to grow suckers like crazy. I've tried to removed them time after time, but it's getting tiring.

What can I do to STOP the suckers from growing completely? Does additional trimming of the trunk help?

The pomegranate is flowering now & is starting to bear fruit (couple of them).

Thank in advance!!!

p.s. I wish I can show y'all the picture of it, but I don't know how to upload pictures in here =(
