Snow DriftThe Snow Drift crabapple is a very profuse bloomer. A good pollinizer for medium to late blooming varieties. It has small to medium sized white flowers that attracts a lot of bees. Snow Drift' Crabapple is a splendid tree and little pruning is required to develop a well-formed, rounded canopy. There appears to be little variation in shape among trees of this cultivar, a characteristic which is coveted by landscape architects. The bright white flowers in the spring give a refreshing look to the landscape and are followed by small, red-orange fruit eaten by birds. Fall color is good, providing a dull yellow glow for two or three weeks. It combines beauty with its great pollinizing chacteristics. ... additional information
Sonata The Sonata apple has a taste that is similar to a Golden. It is a medium sized apple with excellent flavor. It is a very attractive apple, with a bright, pinkish red blush over a yellow background. With a firm and finely grained, creamy colored flesh, it is cold hardy and highly precocious and productive. The Sonata keeps well in storage, retaining its flavor essences better than Gala. We highly recommend Sonata for hobbyists and home gardeners as this is truly a gourmet apple. Sonata apple trees have low to medium vigor. Matures similar to Golden Delicious. Primary assets are the combined excellent cosmetics with a pleasant exciting flavor. |
