Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Place your tree, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Water regularly throughout the first growing season to encourage establishment. In subsequent years, apply a balanced 5-5-5 fertilizer each early spring and water when the top few inches of soil become dry. The Lollipop Crabapple naturally maintains its attractive form, so minimal pruning is necessary—simply remove any dead or crossing branches as needed.
