pollination requirements
the Chestnut Crabapple Tree is a pollinator and doesn't require another pollinator. However, some recommend planting at least two different varieties of apple or crabapple trees within close proximity for pollination.
propagation
Crab apple trees can be propagated by taking softwood cuttings in late spring or early summer, after the flowers have fallen.
site and soil
Chestnut crabapple trees grow best in well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8–7 and adequate nutrients. They prefer full sun and rich, moist soil, but can tolerate many soil types. Heavy clay doesn't tolerate well.
