When to prune crabapple trees to keep them in top condition

Crabapple tree packed with fruit in fall.

Crabapples are very popular trees and they are simple to maintain. Known for beautiful blooms in spring and their small, yet colorful, apples come fall, the trees do not often need lots pruning. However, it is beneficial to know the best time to prune for when it is required.

As a deciduous tree, the crabapple is ideally pruned during its period of dormancy, though the exact window to trim may depend on your climate. Making the right call to head out with the pruning shears at the correct time can hugely benefit your crabapple tree.
