Malus. Bonsai 10 years. Crab Apple or Apple tree. 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.
Dimensions in centimetres approx. (width x depth x height): 35 x 33 x 42 cm.
Note: The shape and measurements of the bonsais are approximate. The pot is included on the dimensions. The colour and shape of the pot may vary from that of the photo. A bonsai is a living being, so the vegetative state of the plant changes according to the season. The images that appear are non-binding illustrative pictures.
