Mix seeds with moist peat moss or sand and refrigerate for 60-90 days before sowing. Sow seeds indoors in late winter or early spring, about 1\/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65-70°F. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking several weeks to a few months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have developed several true leaves and are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a bright, sunny location. Harden off young plants gradually before planting outdoors in a permanent site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Evereste Crabapple Tree Seeds (\u003cem\u003eMalus\u003c\/em\u003e 'Evereste').\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795530514742,"sku":"FOLIA2-327","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7169900535_r3b7.jpg?v=1792671204","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-evereste-crabapple-tree-seeds-malus-evereste-pink-blossoms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
