About the Snowdrift Flowering Crabapple Tree
Introducing the Snowdrift Flowering crabapple tree, a stunning addition to any garden or landscape. This tree is beloved for its profusion of white, fragrant blossoms that cover its branches in the spring, creating a beautiful snowdrift effect.
In early spring, pink buds open into white single blooms and as the blossoms fade, the tree’s lush green foliage emerges, providing a striking contrast against the stark white bark. This crabapple tree is popular in suburban landscapes for its symmetrical crown and upright, rounded, and dense canopy.
The Snowdrift Flowering Crabapple Tree is standard in size and can pollinate other nearby apple trees, but is primarily used as an ornamental, landscape tree. It is also very hardy and disease-resistant, with a low maintenance requirement, making it an ideal choice for busy homeowners or those new to gardening.
In addition to its stunning appearance, the Snowdrift Flowering Crabapple also produces very small, glossy, orange fruit in the fall, which attracts a variety of wildlife such as birds and squirrels. The fruit is also edible and can be used to make delicious jams and jellies.
Overall, the Snowdrift Flowering crabapple tree is a beautiful and practical addition to any garden or landscape, providing year-round interest and beauty with minimal care.
