Apple Blossom Bonsai Growing Tips
Malus sargentii or Dwarf Crabapple is a delightful tree species that is part of the Rosaceae family, the same as roses! This deciduous species produces beautiful flowers but can also be used as rootstock for grafted apple trees. The clusters of pink flower buds produce masses of delicate white flowers in the spring and create a striking bonsai specimen.
Originating from cold and mountainous regions, they have often been used to create jams and other preserves. The small fruits are quite sour and tart, so the trees are commonly used instead for their aesthetic appeal.
Germination tips:
- Dwarf Crabapple seeds benefit from pretreatment prior to sowing. Step-by-step stratification can also be used to break the dormancy of Apple Blossom bonsai seeds.
- As with many bonsai seeds, the ideal time of year for sowing is in the spring and autumn. Once treated, the seed should be sown at stable temperatures of about 18-22°C.
