Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Evereste is our first choice for pollinating a mixed apple orchard. Its abundant white blossom produces plentiful pollen and overlaps well with many mid-season varieties while supporting pollinating insects. The tree is also highly ornamental, with red flower buds and small orange fruit that remains for a long period. Sufficient space should be allowed for the mature tree.

Description

Malus Evereste is one of the most popular crab-apple trees and a good choice if you want a medium-large flowering tree for the garden.

The plain white spring blossom is borne in great profusion – often in the first spring after planting.

The pretty small crab-apple fruitlets appear in the autumn and have an attractive flushed orange colour. They remain on the tree well into December, providing interest long after the leaves have fallen.
