For crabapples cultivated in the open field, in addition to applying base fertilizer during cultivation, trenches can be dug around the plants every year after flowering, and decomposed organic fertilizers can be applied. After returning to the soil, water can be poured thoroughly to make them grow slowly. Slow absorption to meet the nutrient requirements of plants for nutritional growth.
In autumn, you can also use this method to apply organic fertilizers based on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once to promote the differentiation of plant flower buds and meet the nutrient requirements for reproductive growth. Fertilization of potted crabapple flowers can be carried out according to the season.
When the flower buds are formed in spring but have not opened, you can use decomposed organic liquid fertilizer at a concentration of 1:10 or 1:12, once a week, and use a thin fertilizer to promote flowering. The flowers are brightly colored and huge.

Pruning and pruning methods for crabapple flower cultivation
Pruning and pruning is mainly to improve the lighting conditions inside the crown to form a beautiful tree shape. to improve the viewing value. Generally, pruning is carried out after the leaves fall and before budding in early spring to remove dead branches, diseased branches, and weak branches to keep the canopy dispersed and ventilated.
In order to promote vigorous flowering of plants, long branches should be shortened to reduce nutrient consumption for germination, so that the remaining axillary buds can obtain more nutrients and form more flowering and fruiting branches. Fruiting branches and middle branches do not need to be pruned.
During the growth period, if topping can be carried out in time and vegetative growth is restricted in the early stage, the effect will be more significant, especially for potted landscapes.
