if any pruning is done " it should be completed before early June. * Most
crabapples initiate flower buds for next season in mid-June to early July and
pruning at that time or later would result in
decreased flower production the following year. * Pruning may be done,
however, to remove sucker growth, open up the center of the plant to light and
air, to cut off out-of-place branches, and
shape the tree."

Thanks. Schenectady is out anyway. However, what about our club show in
September? By that time flower buds are supposed to be visible. Can I make it
presentable for the show?
