She said water sprouts. She's very frustrated with the amount of
pruning the tree requires, and the 'ugly' shape it has.

On your friend's crab, are you talking water sprouts, or suckers?
They're quite different, but, IMO, management is essentially the same -
prune off water sprouts, prune or pull out suckers.

This is really a problem a friend is having with an ornamental crab apple,
but I assume those are managed similarly to eating apples, so I hope this
isn't too off-topic.
My friend has an "ornamental" crab apple which looks ugly, mostly because it
grows enormous numbers of water shoots. Is there any way to control that?
I asked what sort of apple it was, and she said is was whatever Home Depot
sold when they were landscaping 20 years ago.
Thanks,
Ginda
