  • Description

  • Notes

Snowdrift crabapple is upright, rounded crabapple growing to 15 to 20 feet tall and wide. It has pink buds that open to white flowers in the spring, followed by orange-red fruit. Leaves are lustrous dark green, with an orange fall color. Fruit is not persistent so place it where the mess won't matter...for instance, in a shrub border or surrounded by a tallish groundcover.
