In the merry month of May, crabapples are at the zenith of their bloom
The central flowering period of Malus hybrids extends throughout May. To enjoy this feast for the eyes beforehand and to enjoy it until the beginning of summer, simply combine the varieties with each other. The following compilation may serve as your inspiration:
- Bonsai crabapple Pom Zai: mid-April to mid-May
- Professor Sprenger: mid-May to the end of June

Please note that the more you prune the crabapple in late winter, the lower the flowering will be.
Do not clean up wilted flowers
If the crabapple blossom is coming to an end, please leave the withered flowers on the bush and tree. By pruning you are depriving yourself of the decorative fruits that will decorate your garden well into the winter.
