Notes

'Spring Snow' crabapple (Malus 'Spring Snow') is a tree for borders, pollinator gardens, and specimen planting. 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. The white flowers are fragrant and draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It is also drought tolerant, so it needs little care once settled.

Pairs well with Ruby Spice sweet pepperbush, Perennial candytuft, and Gladiator ornamental onion.
