Malus Pink Perfection Crab Apple Tree - 6ft Tall - 12 Litre Pot

While this tree is supplied in a pot and can be planted year-round, autumn and spring are generally the best times for planting to allow the roots to establish before extreme weather.

When planted in the ground, it will reach its full potential size. If grown in a large container (100 litres+), its size can be managed through pruning.

A light prune to shape or remove any damaged branches is acceptable, but heavy pruning is best left until the tree has established, usually in its second year.

The crab apples are primarily ornamental. While some varieties are technically edible, they are typically very tart and best used for jelly or decoration.

Container-grown trees need more frequent watering than those in the ground. Check the soil moisture daily in hot weather and water when the top inch feels dry.

No, this is a fully hardy outdoor variety and requires outdoor conditions to thrive. It cannot be grown indoors.

Buying a 6ft tall tree provides instant visual impact and maturity. It means you don't have to wait years for a smaller tree to grow to a noticeable size in your garden.

Ensure consistent watering, check for adequate drainage, and confirm it is planted at the correct depth. Avoid waterlogged soil.

Ensure the tree is receiving adequate sunlight. Poor soil conditions or improper pruning can also affect flowering. Consider a spring feed if the soil is poor.

Identify the specific pest or disease and treat with appropriate organic or chemical controls. Ensure good air circulation and hygiene around the tree.

This can be due to under-watering or over-watering. Check soil moisture levels and adjust watering accordingly. Ensure good drainage.
