Planting & Care

Crabapple seeds benefit from cold stratification to break dormancy. Mix seeds with moist peat moss or sand and refrigerate for 60-90 days before sowing. Sow seeds about 1/4 inch deep in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, so be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny, sheltered spot. Harden off before planting outdoors in a permanent location.

Choose a site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first year 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 dead or crossing branches.
