Overview

A compact deciduous flowering crab apple tree offer ing year-round interest. In April, fragrant white blossoms cloak the tree, luring bees and butterflies, and as summer unfolds, its spreading crown provides refreshing shade. By autumn, the leaves turn golden, and small red-orange crab apples persist into winter, attracting birds. With a modest mature height, 'Professor Sprenger' isa vibrant, low-maintenance addition to a small garden, promising a dynamic display from spring to winter.

Care guide

When planting your flowering crab, prepare a hole up to three times the diameter of its root system. Fork over the base of the pit in readiness, incorporating plenty of organic matter into the backfill and planting hole.Avoiding frozen and waterlogged soil, trees should be planted out as they arrive. If you've ordered a bare root tree, soak the roots in a bucket of water for half an hour prior to planting, or if this is not possible, they can be heeled in temporarily, covering their roots with soil, or potted up. Choose a sheltered spot to protect emerging blossom. Remove dead, diseased and crossing branches while the tree is dormant during the winter months.
