watering
The flowering crabapple (Malus 'Branzam' Brandywine) should be watered once a week with 1-2 inches of water. Water around the base of the tree, away from the trunk. Ideally, the soil should be moist but not soggy. Check the soil for moisture approximately 2 inches down, and if it feels dry, then it's time to water. During hot, dry spells, increase the amount of water given to the tree. On extreme days, water twice per week.
sunlight
Flowering crabapple (Malus 'Branzam' BRANDYWINE) requires full sun in order to thrive. It should receive a minimum of 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day in order to produce strong, vibrant blooms. Flowering crabapple is a spring-blooming species and should not be exposed to full sunlight until the cold weather has passed and temperatures and soil moisture levels permit the plant to come out of dormancy. Partial shade can be used in the summer, depending on the plant’s microenvironment and climate.
pruning
The best time to prune flowering crabapple (Malus 'Branzam' BRANDYWINE) is in early spring, before new growth begins. This will ensure that the plant’s energy is focused on new growth. Pruning should focus mainly on dead wood and crossing branches. The main structure should be left as is while minor branches within the tree can be pruned in order to shape the tree overall. If you need to reduce the size of your tree, prune only the longest branches. Prune no more than 1-third of the branches yearly and always prune to an outward facing bud.
