We can use vegetative propagation by cuttings (softwood and hardwood) and micropropagation, to grow pomegranate trees which produce fruit idential to the parental tree. We can propagate pomegranates using both softwood or hardwoods cuttings, but we most commonly use hardwood cuttings commercially. We take softwood cuttings from wood late in the season and they require mist and greenhouse conditions for rooting to occur. In contrast, we take hardwood cuttings from one year old wood or suckers, then trim and place them directly onto the nursery floor, where they grow for one year prior to being transplanted with bare roots.

Air layering parent plants and transplanting suckers are also effective methods of propagation. Answer: Vegetative propagation can be used by cuttings (softwood and hardwood) and micropropagation, w
