#ProPlantTips For Care
This flowering ornamental tree is fairly easy to maintain! It grows to 15-20 feet tall and will spread from 10-15 feet.
The Royal Raindrops® Flowering Crabapple Tree loves the sun! Provide them with a full sun location so they can grow to their fullest potential.
They are widely adaptable to different soil types. And, once they are established in their area, they are drought tolerant. Plant this tree in well drained soil so the roots don't drown!
We recommend adding a layer of mulch to the base of the tree. This will help conserve water and protect the root system.
When watering, like other trees, create a regular watering schedule during the first growing season (Once a week is fairly normal). Then, once it is established, give it a soak when it is thirsty!
Check if the Royal Raindrops® Flowering Crabapple Tree is thirsty by using the Finger Test. Stick your finger in the soil near the base of the tree. If the soil is damp, refrain from watering. If the soil is dry, give it a refreshing soak!
Pruning this tree is simple. Prune in the late winter to remove damaged, broken, or diseased branches/growth. Pruning will prevent mishaps when growing in the spring. If you'd like more information about pruning fruit trees, read our blog post here.
When planting multiple Royal Raindrops® Flowering Crabapple Trees, plant them 20 feet apart measuring from the center of each tree. This will ensure their roots won't tangle. Be sure to plant them 20 feet away from any structure too. The roots require space to flourish.
