Planting & Care
To grow Harry Baker Crabapple from seed, start seeds indoors in late winter after a period of cold stratification. 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). Germination can be slow and uneven, so patience is required.
Once seedlings have developed several true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and gradually acclimate them to outdoor conditions. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil for final planting. Water young trees regularly during the first few years to help establish a strong root system. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.
