How to Use Sugar Tyme Crabapple in the Landscape
Sugar Tyme Crabapple is a deciduous tree with slender, dark green leaves for a full, vibrant appearance. The foliage color is a golden red in the fall and looks fabulous with the bright red fruit contrasted next to it.
Plant your tree where you’ll see it from many different vantage points to get the biggest bang for your buck. For instance, use it near the patio where you’ll also see it from the kitchen window.
Or, use an informal group of them to decorate a berm planting in the front yard. You’ll enjoy looking at the transition from your picture window.
Plant a row of them on the sunny side of taller evergreen trees to soften the look. Or, use a series along the back of your mixed garden border as a special backdrop.
Sugar Tyme Crabapple puts on quite a display when planted in groups of 3 to 5 to create a small grove effect. Plant them at 10 to 12 feet on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.
#ProPlantTips for Care
A vigorous tree, Sugar Tyme is noted for its exceptional resistance to apple scab, leaf spot, powdery mildew, and fire blight. It is even tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions, climates, and even urban pollution.
This is a low-maintenance tree. It has been used to great effect in key spots on commercial properties.
But it's always a good idea to give this tree a spot in full sun with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. You'll also want to ensure that the site you choose has good air circulation for best results.
Plant Sugar Tyme Crabapple in a location that drains well as this tree does not like wet roots. Adapted to a wide range of soil types the tree does like the pH to be slightly acidic from 6.0 to 6.5.
In soils with higher pH, this can be corrected with applications of an acid fertilizer like Dr. Earth Acid Lovers Natural and Organic Premium Fertilizer.
Prune this tree only if you see a broken branch. It really requires little pruning to achieve its overall shape.
Give a moderate amount of water on a regular basis. Once established, it shows a little drought tolerance, but why not protect your investment with a routine schedule of consistent water?
Sugar Tyme is the ideal flowering Crabapple tree for any size garden. This could be the perfect housewarming present. You’ll be so excited to make it a part of the garden, order today!
