When does the crabapple tree bloom?

Flowering period

The flowering period of the crabapple tree is generally in spring, and flowering usually starts in February and lasts until May. However, the specific time of flowering will be slightly different depending on the influence of climate, environment and other factors. Generally, the flowering period of crabapple in the north is later than that in the south. The flowering period of the crabapple tree usually lasts about a week.

Flowering period regulation

With the rapid development of science and technology today, the flowering period of the crabapple tree can be artificially controlled, and its flowering period can be delayed or advanced. To regulate the flowering period of the crabapple, it is mainly necessary to control the maintenance temperature of the crabapple.

Place the crabapple in a low-temperature environment to make it dormant. About a month before the scheduled flowering period, gradually start to increase the temperature and spray water every day. This will allow the crabapple to grow flower buds. At this time, keep the temperature at 10℃ and increase the light so that the flower buds can show color and then bloom normally.

Note that if the flower buds appear late at this time, you can warm it appropriately or spray potassium dihydrogen phosphate to promote flowering.
