Description

Snowdrift Crabapple exudes stunning elegance with a profusion of pure white, fragrant blossoms that light up the landscape in spring. As the season unfolds, these delicate flowers give way to small, vivid red fruits that are refreshingly tart—perfect for whipping up homemade jellies, preserves, or enjoying fresh as a tangy treat. Although partially self-fertile, this delightful tree achieves its finest yield when cross-pollinated with a compatible crabapple, ensuring a more bountiful harvest. With its compact, tidy form and remarkable seasonal transitions, Snowdrift Crabapple makes a gorgeous statement in any Michigan landscape.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily—for optimal blooming and fruit production.
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, water as needed during prolonged dry periods.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the trunk to ensure proper airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or crossing branches, promoting a polished structure and robust fruit production.

Snowdrift Crabapple brings a refined blend of seasonal elegance and productive harvest to Michigan landscapes, delivering a stunning, multi-season display that elevates any setting.
