Should I cut off the withered leaves of the crabapple? How to prune it?

1. Do I need to cut off the withered leaves?

When you find that the leaves are withering, you need to cut them off. After cutting them off, the plant will grow better and there will be more nutrients to supply other branches and leaves, ensuring the lush growth of other branches and leaves. If you let it wither and ignore it, it may die.

In order to prevent this situation from happening again, you need to find out the reasons why the plants are wilting and make adjustments based on the specific reasons. Generally, you should focus on the amount of light, water and nutrients, and change the way they are provided according to the situation. If the plant has just been moved to a new environment and its leaves start to droop, there is no need to make a fuss. It will probably recover after a while.

2. How to trim

The pruning method needs to be based on the situation. If it has just started to wither and only the edges of the leaves are withering, just cut off the withered part. However, if a large area of ​​the leaves are withering, you must cut off the entire leaf to avoid continued consumption of nutrients.
