Snowdrift Crabapple

Malus 'Snowdrift'


Hardiness Zones: 4 - 8   View Map
  • Blooms in a profusion of snowy white blossoms in April or May
  • Can be grown as a multi-stemmed or single-trunk specimen
  • Features glossy, dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall
  • Yields round, orange-red fruit that are 3/8–1/2" in diameter that attract birds
  • Is self-fertile, meaning it depends on insects such as bees to transfer pollen between flowers on the same tree
  • Can be used to pollinate apple trees — because bees tend to stay within the same flower color when foraging apple blossoms, try to match the flower color of the crabapple to the apple variety
  • Grows in a rounded shape

Highlights

A crabapple tree in full bloom is something to behold, and the snowdrift crabapple is no exception. Its pink buds burst into a snowy white show in mid-spring. But while spring is the tree’s standout season, it does offer visual impact year-round. Glossy, deep green summer leaves change to yellow in the fall, and orange-red fruit persists through the winter, attracting the favor of feathered friends.

Its beauty, hardiness, and compact size make this crabapple a versatile choice for any landscape.

History/Lore

Crabapple trees are actually members of the rose family, Rosaceae. As with roses, there is a never-ending desire to develop a new form and give it a fanciful name. This has resulted in approximately 800 cultivars of crabapples.
