The Snow Drift crabapple is a very profuse bloomer. A good pollinizer for medium to late blooming varieties. It has small to medium sized white flowers that attracts a lot of bees. Snow Drift' Crabapple is a splendid tree and little pruning is required to develop a well-formed, rounded canopy. There appears to be little variation in shape among trees of this cultivar, a characteristic which is coveted by landscape architects.
The bright white flowers in the spring give a refreshing look to the landscape and are followed by small, red-orange fruit eaten by birds. Fall color is good, providing a dull yellow glow for two or three weeks. It combines beauty with its great pollinizing chacteristics.
