Patio Crabapple Tree
Malus 'Evereste'
- Crabapple jelly from your back doorstep?! Yep, you heard us right - with our 'Evereste' patio crabpple tree, you can grow your own tart crabapples, no matter how limited your space.
- Alongside the puckering red-orange autumn fruits and enticing foliage, which takes on fierier hues come autumn, this variety produces absolutely glorious (and abundant) white blossoms in the spring.
- With just a basic prune each winter, you can retain this tree's lovely, compact patio shape (at just a metre to a metre-and-a-half in height).
- Recognised as one of the RHS's Plants for Pollinators, your tree will attract a range of pollinating insects, like bees and butterflies, as well as a variety of birds, including blackbirds and thrushes.
- Alongside its wildlife credentials, 'Evereste' also boasts an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS, in recognition of its exceptional performance in British gardens.

Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
