Crabapple trees are relatively easy to care for and can be grown by gardeners of all skill levels. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Crabapple trees are also drought-tolerant and disease-resistant. Crabapple trees can be planted in the ground or in containers, making them a great choice for small gardens, patios, and balconies.
Here are some tips for growing a crabapple tree:
- Plant in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil.
- Water regularly, especially during the first year after planting.
- Fertilize in the spring with a balanced fertilizer.
- Prune in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches and to shape the tree.
- Thin the fruit in the spring to ensure that the remaining fruit is large and flavorful.
- Harvest the fruit when it is ripe and juicy.
Crabapple trees are a beautiful and productive addition to any landscape. They are a great way to enjoy stunning spring blossoms, delicious fruit, and wildlife benefits all season long.
Here are some additional tips for caring for your crabapple tree:
- Mulch around the tree to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Protect the tree from winter damage by covering it with burlap or a frost blanket in cold climates.
- Crabapple trees are relatively pest-resistant, but they can be susceptible to aphids and scale. If you see any pests on your crabapple tree, treat them immediately with an insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Crabapple trees can be used in a variety of ways in the landscape. They can be planted as a foundation tree, specimen tree, or part of a tree line. Crabapple trees can also be used to create a privacy screen or to add interest to a rock garden.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
