Malus Evereste

Named after Eve Reste and introduced around 1980, this crab apple is notable for its beautiful and profuse display of flower in the spring time. 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. An excellent pollinator for Apples. Although the apples produced from a crab apple are usually not edible straight from the tree, they can be easily turned into a fantastic jelly, providing another crop from the orchard.
