Snowdrift Crabapple

Malus 'Snowdrift'

Design with this plant

Overview

The Malus 'Snowdrift' is a picturesque, deciduous tree, perfect for adding spring to fall interest. It boasts a rounded canopy with a height and spread of about 15-20 feet. In spring, clusters of fragrant, white flowers emerge, complemented by glossy green leaves. By fall, the foliage turns yellow, and bright orange-red fruits, around 0.5-inch in diameter, attract birds. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil, with moderate drought tolerance once established.
