Malus sp. . Bonsai 17 years. Crabapple or Appletree. These are typical Mediterranean trees, they live better outside because they need both the sun and the cold to produce fruit. It is a deciduous tree of fast growth. It is most appreciated for its spring blossom and its red fruits in autumn.

Location: Although it can cope with all types of climates, it grows better in direct sunlight. In summer it should be protected from the midday sun. In winter protect from temperatures below -2ºC.

Watering: When watering the soil take care to keep the flowers dry as water would cause them to dry up and fall off. Ensure the roots are not left in soil saturated with water.

Curiosities: Fructification can be encouraged by manually pollinating, using a fine brush, transferring pollen from the stamen on a flower to the stigma of another.
