Malus 'Evereste' – Flowering Crab

View prices and availability
Small tree with a pyramidal crown that later broadens out. The branches spread wide, becoming somewhat pendulous later. The twigs and bark are hairless and dark brown. The slightly lobed and dark green leaves remain in the tree for a long time in the autumn, turning to yellowish-orange. The flowers, almost 6 cm in size, grow in bundles of 4 to 8 together. In the bud the flowers are dark purplish-pink but they turn bright white when open. 'Evereste' produces abundant orange-red to red fruits with a diameter of up to 2.5 cm that remain hanging in the tree until far into the winter. Can be used in gardens, parks and public gardens, but only in verges as a street tree. The tree grows best in nutritious, not too dry soil. Free of mildew and scab. Allowing a solitary planted shrub to grow into a multi-trunked tree can produce an attractive effect.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2024.
