About this cultivar
Malus 'Everest' reaches 4 to 6 metres in height and as much in spread, with a dense, rounded crown. The fruits, of about 2.5 centimetres, stay firm and colourful from September to January, and are the main reason for choosing this cultivar among the crab apples.
Flowering is abundant and regular every year: dark pink buds, lightly scented white flowers in late April and early May, much visited by bees. The dark green foliage turns yellow in autumn.
It was selected in France for its resistance to scab and to the usual diseases of apple trees. It grows in full sun, in varied soils as long as they are well drained, and withstands cold and wind. It serves as a specimen in a small garden, in a short avenue planting and as a pollinator in an orchard.
