Description

The 'Snowdrift' is a deciduous tree that grows at a moderate rate to a height of 20'-25' and a width of 20'. White flowers open from pink buds, in spring, followed by small red orange fruit that birds love. It is used for bonsai, tree lawns and in urban settings since it can tolerate pollution.
