Description

Spring Snow Crabapple captivates with its profusion of pure, fragrant white blossoms that herald the arrival of spring. These stunning blooms, set against dark green, finely textured foliage, create an inspiring and elegant statement in the landscape. As the season progresses, the tree produces small, deep-red fruits that are refreshingly tart—perfect for making jellies, preserves, or simply enjoying as a zesty snack. Although partially self-fertile, optimum fruit production is achieved through cross-pollination, so pairing it with a compatible crabapple nearby is highly recommended.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6 hours of direct light daily—to support robust blooming and fruit set.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; enhancing heavier soils with organic matter improves drainage and moisture retention.
  • Watering: Maintain consistent moisture during the establishment phase; mature trees tolerate brief dry spells but thrive with regular watering during extended heat.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperatures, keeping it slightly away from the trunk for optimal airflow.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove any dead or crossing branches and shape the tree for a polished, tidy appearance.

Spring Snow Crabapple brings a stunning blend of seasonal elegance and productivity to Michigan landscapes, offering an uplifting display of fragrant blooms and refreshingly tart fruit that transforms with the changing seasons.
