Accidentally repotted a pomegranate out of season...

Bayer 3 in 1 worked for me. I had a bunch on my Crape Myrtle this year and the 3 in 1 seems to be knocking them down. so if the soap doesnt work you can try that too.

Good to know I appreciate it.

Bayer is awesome just remember a few things. 1) DON'T allow anything to flower for a while after you use Bayer and like products. We just want to be careful with our little Bee friends. 2) DON'T eat the fruit for a while as it is not super good for you.

I don't think I can expect any fruits or flowers anytime soon but will definitrly keep in mind, thanks!

indeed, thinking that letting a plant grow freely the whole year is "losing a season" is the most widespread misconception about bonsai, you usually lose much more time if you DON'T let the plant recover after such work (if not simply losing the plant itself)

I really like this statement. To reach final stage of Bonsai, it takes one for many years. So if one just loses 1-2 years to keep the tree healthy, it is worth.

Agreed. I have a lot to learn but that sentence put in perspective just how much. Luckily the drive to learn is the fun.

Got treated to a flower with a couple more on the way:

It was so windy one afternoon it was blown clean out of its pot :x

Luckily it kept chugging right along, here it is today with a little fruit. I've only done minimal pruning to see how it responds. I cut 2 branches and they both died back, lesson learned to always leave some foliage. Next spring when I repot I'll choose a front and begin working on the nebari.
