#ProPlantTips For Care

Preferring full sun, favoring morning sun, be sure to plant your Snowdrift in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day for the most blooms!

Plant in moderate fertility, in well-drained soil that is loamy and enriched with a generous layer of mulch over the soil surface.

Water moderately and do not let dry out while young trees are establishing. While drought tolerant once established, you’ll have the most growth and best blooms and appearance of your tree with supplemental watering throughout the growing season.

Situate yours in an area that is protected from frost pockets and with good air circulation. Prune to keep an open canopy so that both sunlight and airflow reach the interior.

awesome ornamental

Just met this beauty at the V.A. Hospital botanical garden. Bloom shape resembles lilac clusters; color is an incredible cream which contrasts against the shiny green leaves. V.A. horticulturist is really enthusiastic about its hardiness and beauty. We plan to plant one as a memorial to my late mom.

Dear W9242,

Thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt and beautiful experience with the Snowdrift Flowering Crabapple Tree! It’s truly wonderful to hear how the V.A. Hospital botanical garden and their horticulturist highlighted this tree’s charming lilac-like blooms and rich creamy color—your description paints a vivid picture. Planting one as a memorial tribute to your late mom is a touching and meaningful way to celebrate her memory, and we’re honored that the Snowdrift can play that role.

If you haven’t settled on a planting spot yet, we recommend choosing a location with full sun and well-drained soil to help this hardy tree thrive. Ensuring space for it to grow into mature size will allow you to enjoy its abundant blooms for years to come. Feel free to reach out if you’d like specific planting and care tips or help timing your planting.

We’re grateful you brought this lovely story to us, and we wish you all the best as you cultivate this beautiful memorial.
