Spring Snow Crabapple

The Spring Snow crabapple tree is a brilliant white tree, and it can be enjoyed by those who don’t want any messy fruit. This tree is a great species throughout the year, and it produces a clean and classic upright oval form. In addition to that bright spring color, the white blooms give off a sweet smell. Once summer arrives, the flowers will fall and make way for shiny green leaves that remain for the entire season.

This crabapple’s foliage turns yellow in the autumn, and it is an excellent tree for those who want a pop of seasonal color. As an ornamental element in the winter, the crabapple is a great piece during the holidays. With its erect branches, the snow-laden bark will add a boost to your holiday decor.

Crabapples work great as an accent piece in a foundation planting. They are also exceptional as an anchor design in your landscape. For easy maintenance, crabapples should be placed 15 feet away from all exteriors. These low-branched trees can block your views, and you should keep that in mind when placing them. The Spring Snow makes great formal hedges when used as a privacy fence. When planted 10 feet apart, the canopies will grow to create a solid privacy screen.

If you want to add an impressive row of street trees, the Spring Snow crabapples look fantastic along a sidewalk’s edge. However, if your area has a lot of road salt, you might want to select another species. These crabapples are not tolerant of excessive exposure to road salt.

You should plant Spring Snow crabapples in locations with well-draining soil and full sun. These trees must be planted at the right depth to remain healthy throughout the seasons. Pruning should be completed in the late winter when the tree is dormant. You should only prune when you want to train those lower branches or need to remove damaged branches.

For the best performance, these crabapples need supplemental water when there is not enough rainfall. Once the trees have established, crabapples are tolerant of hot summers, cold winters, and short droughts. As long as the water can drain quickly, the soil conditions do not matter for these crabapples. In most cases, the Spring Snow crabapples will thrive in urban environments.
