Crab Apple Evereste

Malus evereste, also known as Crab Apple Evereste, is notable for its beautiful and profuse display of flowers in the springtime. The flowers appear bright red in bud and then open to a brilliant white. The foliage is typical for a Malus, appearing in spring a glossy green colour, turning to golden yellow in the autumn time.

The small fruits look like miniature ‘Gala’ apples and remain on the tree until they are picked off by the birds later in the winter.

Malus evereste was introduced in the early 1980s and won the Award of Garden Merit in 2002. We have 3 favourite Malus: one pink flowering, one upright, and one white flowering. This is the white one!

This stunning small tree forms a small, regular and compact crown. It is a tough performer and will thrive in most soils. Malus are a particularly good choice for planting in clay soils which they will tolerate well.

Crab Apple Evereste is the perfect addition to any small garden and will give a pleasing display all year round.

It's an excellent choice for adding colour in both spring and autumn. Since it blooms late in spring, it pairs well with early-flowering trees like Magnolias or early-flowering cherries such as Prunus Accolade. This combination extends the color display in your garden for the longest period possible.

If you live in an area prone to rabbits or deer then we recommend rabbit guards for these trees.
