Notes
'Snowdrift' crabapple (Malus 'Snowdrift') is a tree for borders, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist soil of most types. White flowers are fragrant and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. The tree is drought tolerant and needs little care once settled in. Give it room, since it can grow 15 to 20 feet tall and wide.
Pairs well with Perennial candytuft, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Ruby Spice sweet pepperbush.
