Malus 'Snowcloud' is a small tree reaching around 7m high in maturity with an upright habit and branches that arch outwards. It is delightful in flower, when the whole tree is clad in snowy double blossoms in dense clusters that have come from pale pink buds. This foliage is a steady green colour until it fades to a bronzed yellow in autumn. The crab apples are small and are a golden yellow colour- they are too small for culinary uses but are a great source of food for wildlife.
