Planting & Care

In spring, the tree is adorned with clusters of double, pastel-pink blossoms that emit a delightful fragrance, drawing in pollinators like bees.
This medium-sized tree, easily pruned to maintain a smaller size, serves as a stunning focal point on a lawn or in a large patio container.
During autumn, it yields red crabapples that attract birds, making it a perfect choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.
Enhance the base of your crabapple tree with shade-loving plants such as hostas and heucheras, or with spring bulbs like crocuses and tulips.
The tree features deep forest-green, ovate leaves with slight serrations, offering a striking contrast to its blossoms and fruit.

Planting: Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, moderately fertile soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it a few inches away from the trunk.
Watering: Water newly planted trees regularly during the first year to keep the soil evenly moist. Once established, crabapples are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.
Fertilizing: In early spring, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilization to prevent excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers and fruit.
Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove dead, diseased, or crossing branches to improve air circulation and light penetration. Thin out overcrowded branches to maintain a balanced structure and enhance flowering.
Pest & Disease Management: Regularly inspect your tree for pests like aphids and caterpillars. Use organic insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. Select disease-resistant varieties and practice good garden hygiene to minimize issues. Remove and dispose of fallen leaves and fruit to reduce disease spread.
Companion Planting: Enhance the base of your crabapple tree with shade-loving plants such as hostas and heucheras, or with spring bulbs like crocuses and tulips.
