Malus Evereste
(Crab apple)
Malus Evereste is a conical tree with dark green, often lobed leaves, 8-11cm (3-4in) long. It is an excellent tree for spring blossom. The flowers are freely borne, 5cm (2in) across, red in bud but open white. In autumn it gives another fantastic show, with good colour, and masses of red-flushed, orange-yellow fruits 2.5cm (1in) across, which hang on through the winter.
Malus Evereste grows to a height of 7m (22ft), and spread of 6m (20ft), and grows best in moderately fertile moist but well-drained soil. Full sun is preferred, although partial shade is tolerated. This variety is one of the most disease resistant crab apples, and will also tolerate pollution.
Malus Evereste is another very versatile plant which is available from Deepdale Trees in many forms, including: standard, multistem, umbrella, roof shape, instant hedge.
