Product description
The apple tree 'Evereste' is a trellis tree, which has a rather open structure. The very special charm of this garden plant is the fact that it gets beautiful ornamental apples in the fall and lures many insects into the garden during the flowering season. This apple tree produces numerous, orange-red to red fruits, with a diameter of up to 2.5 cm in winter.
The slightly lobed and dark green leaves of Malus Evereste remain sticky in autumn and then turn yellow-orange. Its large flowers grow up to 6 cm long in clusters of 4 to 8 flowers. The buds are dark violet-pink coloured, but once opened, the flowers turn pure white in colour. The ornamental apple tree blooms from early May to mid-June with white, slightly fragrant cup-shaped flowers that contrast beautifully against its dark green leaves.
The Evereste tree is quite sturdy, frost-resistant and adapts quickly to any type of garden soil, until it is nutrient-rich and well-drained. However, it will not tolerate too wet soil and dry soil so well. The tree thrives best in normal garden soil in sunny to partially shaded position.
It is mildew and scab resistant, and can also tolerate paved locations. Here is an apple tree that has a medium water requirement and demands low maintenance. Use any general slow-release fertiliser in the spring while planting.
Malus Evereste is suitable for general gardens, parks and green spaces as a decorative plant. Decorate your garden with a charming apple tree that needs rather little attention.

Instructions
Top Tip
Feed Malus trees with a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support growth and flowering. Prune annually during winter to remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches and maintain an open shape, which improves air circulation and reduces disease risk. For fruiting varieties, thinning the fruitlets in early summer ensures larger, healthier fruits. Protect young trees from harsh winds and frost, as this can damage their growth and blooms.
How to Water
Water Malus trees deeply and regularly during their first year to help them establish a strong root system, especially during dry spells. Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant but benefit from additional watering during prolonged dry periods or when fruit is forming. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise evaporation and focus on the base of the tree to avoid wetting foliage, which can lead to fungal issues. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps the tree healthy.
How to Plant
To plant Malus, select a sunny position with fertile, well-draining soil that is neutral to slightly acidic. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and the same depth, loosening the soil at the base to encourage root growth. Place the tree in the hole with the graft union above soil level and backfill gently, firming the soil to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of organic mulch around the base, keeping it clear of the trunk to prevent rot. Space trees appropriately to allow for their eventual size and shape.
