This crab apple is a very adaptable species and is suitable for all soil types, best in moist but well drained soil. Position your tree in sunny position, or with partial shade. This strong species can be planted in an exposed site or sheltered and is suitable for all aspects.
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.
