Soil Type

Moderately fertile, well drained soil

Malus, or Crab apple as they are sometimes known are suitable for planting in most types of fertile and well drained soil. Plant in a sunny location as they do not prosper too well in the shade.
If possible prepare the ground some time in advance of planting. Open out holes and plant with enough space to accommodate the roots without cramping them. Provide a stake to help support the shrub in its early years, protecting it from strong winter winds. Mulch during cold/frost and water freely.
