Flowering Crabapples are some of the most decorative smaller garden trees. They are covered in blossom in shades of white through pink to purple in spring. Foliage ranges from light green to maroon and many varieties colour well in autumn before their leaves fall. Then, on the bare tree, crabapples - like bright marzipan fruits - often hang until after well Christmas. However, if crabapples aren't to your taste then why not take a look at our other ornamental Garden Trees.
For the orchard owners amongst you, crabapples are useful too as many have such a long flowering period that they will pollinate your apples right through the flowering season.
Versatile crabapple that is resistant to fire blight
Malus ‘Evereste’ is a fantastic crabapple variety with superb ornamental value. Producing a blossom of large, white flowers in the spring and golden-yellow/red fruit all the way up until Christmas it’s a beautiful addition to any outdoor space. Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s AGM award this tree has been recognised for its hardy nature, disease resistance and as a wildlife benefactor. ‘Evereste’ makes a great pollinator for other apple trees and the fruit it does produce is a favourite amongst birds in those harsh winter months.
