Thinning Pomegranates

I have had pretty good fruit set on my Grenada - but some are hanging 3-together. Should I be thinning them? I never know whether to leave them to ‘naturally’ thin themselves - or not.

Or you could have my problem…I have ONE total on two trees!! :joy::joy::joy::joy:. Which is one more than I’ve had in 7-8 years!!

I notice two on my tree and they don’t look healthy.

I have been growing poms for 25+ years. I have never thinned the fruit. It never even occurred to me to do so. Doubles and triples will be smaller if left on the tree but I’m not sure that cutting one off will translate into such larger poms that it will make up for the one you cut off.

I do thin doubles and triples to a single. I would better have one good fruit instead of two/three subpar ones.
