Spring Snow Crabapple Question

6 years ago

Planted a spring snow crabapple this past Spring (April). The leaves seem small(see pics in comments) - they are there but some branches only have a few leaves. Is this because it’s just been planted and has a little stress? It did have a few blooms in April too. Been watering weekly with a long slow drip.

soil looks very dry ... how is moisture in the gob planted.. and in surrounding soil ... at root level????

dig some small.. 3 to 6 inch holes with a hand trowel or tablespoon.. and find out .. and then adjust watering accordingly ...

its extremely stressed... fert is not a response at this time ...

did you bare root it.. ???

big city location might give us a flavor of where you are ...
