About Snowdrift Crabapple
The Snowdrift apple tree (Malus 'Snowdrift') is a beloved ornamental and pollinator crabapple variety, known for its breathtaking spring display of white blossoms and its glossy, persistent orange-red fruit that lasts well into winter. Compact and versatile, it serves beautifully as a landscape centerpiece or as a pollination companion for other apple varieties in your orchard. Its hardy nature and disease tolerance make it one of the easiest crabapples to grow in Washington’s variable climate.
