To prune a crab apple tree, start by removing dead or diseased branches. Then, trim any branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other. Next, shape the tree by cutting back branches to maintain a balanced and open canopy. Make clean cuts at a slight angle just above a bud or branch junction. Avoid cutting too much at once and spread pruning over a few years to avoid stressing the tree.
