Malus 'Evereste'
Malus PERPETU 'Evereste' is an ornamental cultivar of crabapple that was developed by INRA in 1974[1] and is registered under their trademark[2] with the name Malus perpetu.[3][4]
Description & uses
'Evereste' is a small deciduous tree[4] that grows to a height of 7 m (22 ft), and spread of 6 m (20 ft).[5] The tree is conical in shape and has somewhat lobed, elliptical leaves.
The 'Evereste' crabapple flowers in spring,[5] producing a large number of flowers.[6] The flowers are 5 cm (2 in) in width.[4] When the flowers are buds the petals are red, but when the flowers open the petals are white with a pink tint.[4][5][6]
The 'Evereste' fruit reaches up to 2.5 cm (1 in) in length. Its skin is yellowish-orange[4] and red-flushed. The tree fruits in autumn, and the fruits continue to ripen into the winter.[5]
The fruits can be used for crab apple jelly, apple sauce or for pressing into a mixed cider brew.[6]
The 'Evereste' crabapple can also be used as a pollenizer for domesticated apples that are self-sterile.[7]
Cultivation
'Evereste' crabapple grows best in moderately moist, well drained soil. It prefers full sun, but tolerates partial shade. This species is disease resistant, and also tolerates pollution.[5]
Award
The 'Evereste' crabapple received the Award of Garden Merit as an ornamental tree from the Royal Horticultural Society in 1993.[8]
