Default Pomegranate tree

Do pomegranate trees fruit from new wood or old?

Ours form blossoms and fruit on two year old wood (maybe three year) and
older but productio drops off as the branch gets older. Ours also grow
as shrubs - we never trained them as trees early on. We also prune
pretty severly removing about 1/3 of the canes each year. Seem to put
out a lot of new suckers every year to replace the older ones. -Olin
