The next week (still back in April) we were working on taking some crab apples out of their 1 gallon pots and putting them in the ground to thicken. Crabs tend to throw suckers from any roots that become exposed on the surface. So, if’s it’s a minor root, you can sever it and take the sucker as a new tree. I did just that, and wound up with 14 new crab apple trees! They are tiny now, but they will grow.
Unfortunately, my pics of them didn’t turn out too great, and the weather today was too crapy to shoot any more, so you’ll have to wait till later for the pics. Although, really, there’s not much to see. Little twigs in little pots. I did get some pics of the bigger crabs in the ground – here they are:
We got the crabs in the ground, using the same techniques I’ve outlined before. Sorry – nothing too new and exciting this time.
The next update will be better, I promise!
