Malus ‘Evereste’ is ideal for planting in gardens, parks, and green belts. Because it bears fruit, the tree is less suitable for residential streets with sidewalks.
In the spring, the tree often blooms profusely with pure white flowers. The flowers emerge from ornate purple-pink buds and retain a purple-pink color even as they open. Over the course of the summer, orange-red ornamental apples appear and remain on the tree well into the winter.
It remains a relatively small tree that grows to a maximum height of five to eight meters. In its early years, the tree forms a relatively narrow, pyramidal crown. Later, the tree develops a looser crown that spreads more widely. In later life, the tree often forms a broader, ovoid crown that can be somewhat irregular. The tree has dark green leaves that turn orange-yellow in the fall. It is a healthy tree that is largely resistant to diseases and pests.
The tree traces its origins to 1978 at the French research institute INRA for horticulture and seeds. The institute is located in Angers. We grow this cultivar as both trees and shrubs at our nursery.
