Planting
When to plant?

Autumn and spring are the best times to plant a Purple Crab Apple Neville Copeman. It is important to avoid periods of frost, as the fragile roots could be damaged.

Where to plant?

Choose a sunny to partially shaded location. The Malus Neville Copeman adapts to different types of soil, but prefers well-drained soils. Avoid soils that are too compact or clayey.

How to plant?

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball of the tree and of the same depth. Loosen the soil at the bottom of the hole well. Place the tree in the hole, ensuring that the collar (the transition zone between the roots and the trunk) is at ground level. Fill the hole with the previously loosened soil and lightly compact it. Water thoroughly after planting.

Watering

Mulching: apply organic mulch (wood bark, compost) at the base of the tree to limit water evaporation, maintain a constant soil temperature and limit weed growth.
