Malus Sylvestris - Crab Apple 45 Litre Pot (12-14cm)

Malus 'Evereste' boasts dazzling, unusually large white flowers in April, opening from scarlet flower buds that fade too pink. Dark-green foliage adopts a yellow/bronze hue in autumn and attractive crab apples develop, flushed with shades of yellow, orange and red. These lovely crab apples can be used for culinary purposes or left on the tree where they will adorn the branches into winter.

Conical in habit, Malus 'Evereste' will grow to a height and spread of about 5 x 4 metres in 20 years. Pollution tolerant, Crab Apple trees are suited to urban areas and can handle most positions and soil types including chalk. This Flowering Crab Apple is popular amongst wildlife, particularly bees, making it a reliable pollinator.
