Malus prunifolia requires bright, direct sunlight for optimal growth. It thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers a humid environment. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings.Oogst
Malus prunifolia, commonly known as the Chinese crab apple, is typically harvested in late summer to early autumn when the fruits are fully mature and have developed their characteristic color. To harvest, gently twist the fruit to detach it from the tree, ensuring not to damage the branches or the fruit itself. It is important to handle the fruits carefully to avoid bruising. The fruits should be harvested before the first frost to prevent damage. Regular monitoring of the fruit's ripeness is essential to determine the optimal harvest time.Bodem
This tree prefers well-draining loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can harm the roots.Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize in early spring and again in mid-summer to support healthy growth and fruit production.Verpotten
