Looking for Pruning and Care Advice for Prairiefire Crabapple

[mdiokwe]

Hi all,

I planted a Prairiefire crabapple tree two years ago and have been working to help it grow effectively. I'm seeking advice on how to properly prune the tree so it can grow well, and any other advice would be appreciated.

I'm particularly concerned about one branch that is growing much taller than the others. I am not sure if it may try to become the leader branch, but I'm not sure how that works.

Thanks!
