Can crabapple be pruned in autumn? Can it be transplanted in autumn?

1. Can it be trimmed?

Begonias can be pruned in autumn, after the leaves of the plant fall, which is beneficial for its wintering and growth. And if you prune at this time, the wound will not be easily infected and rotted. When pruning, you need to cut off the thin branches, diseased branches, overlong branches and dry branches on the plant, and you can also shape the plant according to its specific growth trend.

When pruning, you need to be careful to prune lightly, not too heavily. The knives used should be clean and preferably sterilized before use. Moreover, after completing the pruning work, be careful not to let the pruned cuts come into contact with water. Keep them dry so that they can recover faster.

2. Can it be transplanted?

After entering autumn, the temperature will begin to drop slowly, and the plants will gradually begin to dormant and the leaves will fall off. If you transplant it at this time, the damage to the plant will be less and it will recover faster. Doing this when the plant sheds its leaves can reduce water evaporation, and therefore increase the survival rate after transplanting.

In addition to autumn, it can also be done in spring. In early spring, the plants will slowly wake up and have not yet begun to grow vigorously, so transplanting is more suitable. The temperature in summer and winter is either high or low, which is very unfavorable for plant recovery, so it must be avoided in these two seasons.
