Malus 'Evereste'

Malus 'Evereste'

Crabapple 'Evereste'

Description

Malus ‘Evereste’ (crab apple ‘Evereste’) was selected by the INRA research institute in France from a sowing of Malus domestica with Malus floribunda, and released in 1978. This selection has now become one of the most well-known and most commonly used crab apples. In time, Malus ‘Evereste’ becomes a broadly pyramidal, semi-open tree six to eight metres tall, with gently bending branches, forming a crown four to six metres wide. As well as a standard tree, this crab apple also develops a lovely, characteristic multi-stem shape.

In May, crab apple ‘Evereste’ produces an abundance of white flowers. The flower buds are dark pink. Bees and other insects love the blossom! Once all the flowering is over, the tree can look a little sad. The new foliage then emerges fresh green before changing to dark green in the summer. The yellow foliage remains on the tree for a long time in the autumn. Together with the orange-red to red, flattened spherical, striped fruits, this makes for a wonderful autumn scene. The tree produces a profusion of blossom and fruits, and the fruits also remain on the tree late into winter. This makes Malus ‘Evereste’ very popular with birds right through the winter.

Crab apple ‘Evereste’ grows on any fertile and damp soil. The selection is very hardy, resistant to wind and tolerates paving. Besides its many ornamental values, ‘Evereste’ is also a very healthy selection: it remains largely free of scab and mildew. This crab apple is suitable for a range of planting sites but best appreciated in gardens and parks, road verges and in tree containers. Malus ‘Evereste’ can also be trained very well as a topiary tree, for example as a pleached specimen.
