#ProPlantTips For Care
Who doesn't love sunbathing?! This tiny tree definitely does! Full sun is needed for optimal growth and bloom set. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 8, these are very adaptable trees!
Water modestly yet consistently for best results, and can adapt to a wide variety of soils. These mini-trees prefer medium-moisture in acidic well-drained soil, but once matured they are somewhat drought tolerant. The tiny Tina Crabapple is easy to grow and very forgiving of its environment and of inexperienced gardeners alike.
Pruning is typically not needed on this little darling unless you want to thin the crown a bit or keep it in a formal ball. Avoid spring pruning as it may open up cracks and allow fire blight to invade this already disease-resistant Crabapple. Tina is just about as low maintenance as it gets when it comes to flowering ornamental trees!
The Tina Sargent Ornamental Flowering Crabapple tree is definitely one of a kind, which makes it perfect for any setting, especially yours! Why not see for yourself!? Get one today to see what it could add to your landscape! Head over to NatureHills.com right away!
