#ProPlantTips For Care

Crabapple trees require full sun, so provide your tree at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day in USDA growing zones 4-8. The dwarf dense spreading crown won’t interfere with utility lines.

Preferring moist, well-drained soil that is organically enriched, plus a generous layer of mulch to insulate and retain moisture. Sargent can be tolerant of drier conditions once it’s established.
