Snowball Viburnum
Antonovka Apple

Snowball Viburnum is a popular ornamental shrub with prolific flowering. This plant is prized for its round clusters of white flowers that resemble snowballs, delighting children and adults. In fall, its leaves turn vibrant shades of red.

Snowball Viburnum is sought after as a single accent shrub, but can also make a dense hedge or privacy screen.

Originally created in Russia, this apple tree is incredibly cold hardy and commonly used as a root stock for other apple breeds.

Cross pollination is required with another apple or crabapple tree in order for fruit to be produced. Generally, fruit production does not occur until the tree has reached 5-7 years of age.

Its fruit are yellow/green, low sugar, late fruiting and great for pies and cider.
