A cold moist stratification period of 60-90 days is recommended. Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 70°F (21°C) for germination. Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, sheltered spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen planting outdoors, choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help the tree establish a strong root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk. Prune as needed in late winter to maintain shape and remove any dead or crossing branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Candymint Crabapple seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795567378742,"sku":"FOLIA2-548","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7169610167_ru80.jpg?v=1792671658","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-candymint-crabapple-seeds-malus-ornamental-tree-with-pink-blossoms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
