[QUOTE="mbader5, post: 5483899, member: 23293"] I have planted hundreds of apple/crab apple trees for deer. I've only planted in the fall/winter once or twice. Spring works fine, just water generously when you plant. Very rarely would I water after - only if it was incredibly dry. The benefit to crab apples, as I understand it, is they are pretty easy to care for and don't require pruning like a regular apple tree does. Used to plant apple trees for deer but switched to crabapples for many reasons, including the fact that they are prolific pollinators. I moved to East Tennessee from NY this summer, but we had great luck w/ Whitetail Crabs ([URL]https://www.whitetailcrabs.com/2022-trees[/URL]). [/QUOTE]
