Conical in habit, Malus 'Evereste' will grow to a height and spread of about 5 x 4 metres in 20 years. This Flowering Crab Apple is popular amongst wildlife, particularly bees, making it a reliable pollinator. Crab Apple trees are suited to urban areas and can tolirate most positions and soil types.
