How much sunlight do crabapple trees need?

Full sun exposure, 8 to 12 hours of direct sun, is required for optimal development of fruits and flowers. Most flowering crabapples are hardy and can endure the colder temperature extremes of zone 4 on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone maps.

On our land in northern Minnesota, we've had great success with planting crab apple trees. their fairly inexpensive,grow much faster than regular apple trees, and the deer go crazy for them, especially Nov- Feb, or until all fruit is gone.

RE: something to plant in the woods
when starting crab apple trees or regular apple trees, i'd recommend wrapping some 5' high fencing around them for the first several years. Stake the fence down with metal posts, usually 3 posts will do it. I use 4" square fencing. May want to also wrap the tree base a couple feet up with protective covering to keep rabbits,etc from eating tree bark. Taz

taz,
How long ago did you plant the Caragano, and how has it grown in Minnesota? I live in Wisconsin and have the same cllimate as you do. Did you get the peas the first year? I found a web site that sells the seeds and was also wondering how fast it grows. This site called them trees and said they can get as tall as 20'
