This crab apple is a very adaptable species and is suitable for all soil types, best in moist but well drained soil, although once established will be able to tolerate drought periods. Best positioned where the tree will receive full sun. This strong species can be planted in an exposed site or sheltered and is suitable for all aspects. The ‘Adirondack’ variety was developed to be highly resistant to common apple diseases (powdery mildew, rust, fire blight, scab).
Requiring low maintenance, your tree will keep its best shape with an annual prune in late winter or early spring. Specifically, remove any shoots which have crossed over or congested the tree, as well as damaged and diseased branches. An annual mulch after pruning will supress any competing weeds, hold down moisture and add organic matter to the soil.
