Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant so the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil, backfill, and water thoroughly. Apply a layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the plant establish. Once established, the Roselow Crabapple is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering during dry spells. Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.
