Spring Snow Crabapple Information

1. Dig a hole twice as wide as the ball and 1-2” shallower than the ball so that the ball protrudes above the soil line. The hole should not be too deep.

2. When moving the tree to the hole, please handle it by the ball only - not by the trunk.  Leave the wire and burlap in place until you have the tree where you want it.
