Crabapples are generally planted in spring and autumn because the temperature and lighting conditions are suitable, and the ventilation is good. In spring, choose April or May, and in autumn, choose August or September.

In order to improve the germination rate of crabapple seeds, it is necessary to pre-treat the seeds for germination before planting. The specific steps are as follows: first, soak the seeds, select the floating bad seeds and empty seeds, then choose absorbent cotton gauze to cover the seeds, and place them in a room at about 15-25 degrees Celsius. During this process, it is necessary to change the water and clean the seeds every day to prevent mold growth, until the white part of the seeds is exposed before sowing.
3. Sowing Method
Sow the seeds after germination, cover with soil and water. Remember to space each seed 30 centimeters apart when sowing, with the white part facing up, and the soil should not be covered too thickly, about one centimeter is enough.
4. Post-Sowing Management
Crabapple seeds need a lot of water to germinate, so water promptly after sowing to keep the soil moist at all times. However, avoid overwatering, as it can affect the germination rate and survival rate.
