Pomegranate as a Bonsai?
My parents have a Pomegranate in a pot. They called me one day and told me that it would be a great bonsai cause they saw in it had much potential because of how the tree grew, and that it was like in a forest formation. I have never seen or heard of Pomegranate used as a Bonsai. My parent's Pomegranate bears fruit. It has about 12 Pomegranate on the tree. It's not big, it is about the size of a 19" monitor. If they turn it into a bonsai do they have to care for it exactly the same way as a normal tree? Reason why I question it so much is because it bares fruit. If i prune the roots away like a normal bonsai will it affect the fruit so much that the tree will just lose all its Pomegranate? Just wanted to see if it is possible, and if it is possible, should I do this now or wait till next spring? I don't want the tree to be threatened by the oncoming fall and winter weather.
