Ideal for small gardens, Malus ‘Evereste’ (Crabapple) is a charming deciduous tree with several seasons of interest. Opening from rich red buds, masses of sweetly fragrant, large, cup-shaped, white blossoms, 2 in. across (5 cm), appear in late spring, just as the foliage is unfolding.
Ideal for small gardens, Malus 'Evereste' (Crabapple) is a charming deciduous tree with several seasons of interest. Opening from rich red buds, masses of sweetly fragrant, large, cup-shaped, white blossoms, 2 in. across (5 cm), appear in late spring, just as the foliage is unfolding. The blooms are followed by abundant clusters of cherry-like, red-blushed, orange-yellow fruit, 1 in. wide (2.5 cm), which persist well into winter. The foliage of more or less lobed leaves emerges dark green in spring and remains so until fall when it turns orange and yellow shades.
