This crabapple tree thrives in full sun. Plant it in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. It prefers well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter.
To ensure your crabapple tree has enough room to grow, plant it at least 15 feet away from other trees, shrubs, or structures. If planting multiple trees, space them 15 feet apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
Dig a hole that is twice as wide and slightly deeper than the root ball of the tree. This will allow the roots to spread out and establish themselves.
Carefully place the root ball of the tree in the hole, ensuring that the graft union is above the soil line. Fill in the hole with soil, tamping down gently to remove any air pockets.
After planting, water the tree deeply to ensure the roots are thoroughly moistened. Continue to water regularly, especially during dry periods.
Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water the tree deeply once a week, especially during the first growing season. As the tree matures, it will require less frequent watering.
