pollination requirements
The Dolgo crabapple tree is self-pollinating, so it doesn't need another tree to produce fruit. However, cross-pollination with another crabapple tree can lead to larger and better-tasting fruit.
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
Dolgo crabapple trees (Malus Dolgo) grow best in medium moisture, well-drained, acidic loams in full sun, but can adapt to a wide range of soils. They can tolerate average soils and prefer to grow in moist conditions, but shouldn't be allowed to dry out.
