Sow seeds indoors in late winter or directly outdoors in fall. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix, and keep moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven; be patient. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in a sunny location. Harden off before planting outdoors after the last frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a planting site with full sun and well-drained soil. Water young trees regularly during the first few years to help them establish a deep 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Golden Gem Crabapple seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67795565379894,"sku":"FOLIA2-542","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7170317181_spfa.jpg?v=1792671647","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-golden-gem-crabapple-seeds-ornamental-tree-with-pink-blossoms","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
