The lotus leaves of Koishikawa Korakuen's inner garden

The inner garden, or "naitei", sits at the southern end of the garden. While the garden was under Tokugawa possession, the naitei was a separate facility from the rest of the garden. This area was used as a private cram school during the Tokugawa days.

Garden with blooming pink crabapple tree

Watering is a fundamental aspect of caring for your Crabapple Trees. Like many others, these trees have specific water requirements that are essential for their overall health and vitality.

It’s crucial to ensure that the tree is planted in well-drained soil that allows excess water to escape, preventing soggy roots. Overwatering can lead to problems such as root rot and other diseases, so striking the right balance is important.

During dry periods, especially in the growing season, supplementary watering is crucial to maintain even moisture in the soil. These trees appreciate consistency in moisture levels to thrive and produce beautiful blossoms and fruit.

As the cooler months approach, you can reduce your watering frequency since the demand for moisture decreases during this time. However, even in the dormant season, monitoring soil moisture and providing water when needed is vital.

To further support your Crabapple Trees, consider mulching around the base of the trees. Mulch helps retain moisture in the soil, regulates soil temperature, and suppresses weed growth.

Dwarf Trees That Are Perfect for Small Gardens or Patios

Whether you have a small yard or even just a petite patio space, it's possible to still grow trees to add depth, color, and interest. Love the look of stately birch and magnolia trees but don't have the space to plant full-size versions? Try a dwarf version instead. You'll get the same aesthetic look you're after but in a smaller, more manageable size. And in some cases, dwarf trees can even be grown in containers, making them a unique choice for your patio or deck. Ahead, we spoke to gardening experts for their recommendations for dwarf trees for small spaces.

Snow Girl Gardenia Flowers

Snow girl gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides 'WAH-LM') has finely textured, glossy, dark green leaves that form a spreading mound in the garden. "It has an abundant display of fragrant, single, white flowers that bloom in early summer, then periodically until frost," says Kristen Pullen, woody ornamental portfolio manager for Star Roses and Plants.

Deer-Resistant Shrubs That Will Protect Your Garden From Grazing

Shrubs are a beautiful addition to any yard—they fill in gaps between your plantings, offer multiple seasons of interest, and many varieties yield beautiful blooms for added color. While this all sounds great, you may be encountering one issue when it comes to your shrubs: deer. Luckily, peaceful coexistence is possible. It just takes the right type of deer-resistant shrubs.

How to Add Plants to a Gravel Garden

Now it's time for the part you've been waiting for—putting in your plants into the gravel. For this, you'll want to use drought-tolerant native plants with deep root systems. You shouldn't plant seeds in a gravel garden, since it's harder for the roots to establish.

"When we plant, we typically use 3.5 or 4.5 inch pot size perennials, because they're about the correct depth," says Epping. "If you use a gallon pot, they're actually too big and you have to end up shaving off some soil to get them in."

Lay out your potted plants in the areas you want them to grow, keeping each about 12 to 18 inches apart.
Remove the plant from the pot and hover it over a bushel basket.
Over the basket, peel off the top inch of soil to remove any weed seeds from the nursery before planting.
Dig about 4 to 5 inches deep, past the gravel and into the soil, and insert the root ball.
Fill the area back in with soil and gravel. The gravel should touch the crown of the plant (where the stem meets the roots).
