'Evereste' Crabapple Tree
- Adorn your garden with this flowering crabapple tree displaying unusually large white blooms in mid-spring which turn pink in later months
- Very attractive red crab apples are excellent for jam making but you can also share them with birds, who will be very grateful especially in winter time
- Dark green foliage appearing with blossom in mid-spring will turn amber in autumn
- Excellent fire blight resistance
- Proudly holds the RHS Award of Golden Merit
- Grows to 4mx4.5m
- Easy to maintain and hardy tree, thriving in all moist and well-drained soils
- Our trees are usually between 18 and 36 months old at the time of dispatch.
- Our trees are professionally pruned before dispatching.
- Our mature trees are grown in Air-Pots®, the only type of pot to completely eliminate root circling. A unique design stimulates air pruning for a mass of healthy fibrous roots, which results in a healthy tree that will establish quickly in your garden. With each Air-Pot® made to last up to 20 years, we reuse them on the nursery and wrap your mature tree in hessian for delivery - but if you’d rather keep your tree potted, simply add an Air-Pot® to your basket along with your tree.
