Malus Snow Magic

White Crabapple

Malus ‘Snow Magic’

A medium-sized ornamental crabapple with pink buds that open to masses of white spring flowers, followed by small wine-red to red fruit that can persist into the season. It is typically described as broad upright to oval in habit, with dark green foliage and generally good disease resistance.

Type: Ornamental tree
Mature Size: 15–20' wide x 15–25' high
USDA Zones: 4a–7b
Form: Broad upright to oval
Light: Full sun
Soil / Water: Average to moist, well-drained soil; moderate water
Bloom Time / Length: Spring
Wildlife: Bees, birds

Features & Landscape Uses: Useful as a specimen, lawn tree, or accent planting where a white-flowering crabapple with persistent red fruit is wanted. Source descriptions note heavy white bloom, small persistent fruit, and a broad upright to oval framework. A University of Kentucky Extension publication also lists ‘Snow Magic’ among acceptable or newer flowering crabapples, though it notes those selections had not been fully evaluated under Kentucky conditions.

Care: Plant in full sun for the best flowering, fruit set, and foliage quality. Grow it in well-drained soil and prune as needed in late winter to maintain structure and improve air circulation.
