Evereste Crabapple

I received 5 semi-dwarf Evereste Crabapple. As usual, they came well packed and wrapped. To my delight, all five were almost identical in size and form - perfect for my little avenue of trees. They are now leafing out, extremely healthy, every branch fully leafed. Couldn't be happier.

Tree arrived in good condition and well-packaged. It was planted a couple weeks ago and it's looking good. I think it's about to bloom.

I was unsure what to expect when I first ordered these trees many years ago. Surprisingly easy & happy little tree. Gorgeous bloom display in spring & decent size berries in the fall. I didn’t know they require a pollinator but they have always bloomed anyway (probable nearby apple/crabapple) If you have a small garden, these trees are a fabulous plus for your landscape and the birds. No care tree. Have had ones that lasted 20+ years until damaged by strong storms or careless workers not careful with ladders etc. You will not be disappointed. Was happy Raintree introduced them to me - the trees sent usually even had some buds on them.

Have a small yard with several dwarf fruit trees. Evereste is my favorite. The blooms are beautiful, the fruit is a nice size and abundant most years. In winter, the ice clings to the fruit and looks like decorative balls. By early spring, the robins are eating the softened and fremented fruit that is still on the tree. A little fungicide spray will keep the leaves spot-free.

I ordered two of the semi-dwarf trees and was blown away by how beautiful and healthy they were upon arrival!

Planted them out with a hardware cloth cage sunk 18” down (resident groundhog and moles) that also protects the trunk. Watering regularly while they get established.

They flowered and fruited this first year! The deer enjoyed all the fruit and many leaves, but they’re churning out fresh leaves and will be just fine. Eventually they’ll get too tall for the deer to do much damage, I suppose!

No complaints! It looks vigorous and I’m excited to see it grow

I have had several of these trees from Raintree, for my own garden and as gifts. I get the mini dwarf option. These trees are great for small gardens and relative to size have a wonderful flower show in the Spring & many fruit for birds in the fall The instructions indicate pollinator required but they have been producing & flowering without a planned pollinator - perhaps as there are other crabapples nearby. Easy, happy trees. Raintree has always sent nice specimens - several had buds for instant blooms first year.

My first Evereste tree came about a year ago or so. I loved the taste. So did my dogs. I meant to use them for pectin for our fruit canning. That did not work as me and the dogs ate them. I did conserve by eating only two a day for each of us - me and dogs. No one else in my family likes them. So, I decided to get 2 more trees. They just arrived and are leafing. I grew the first in the ground but due to rains, not being able to get out and dig, we have placed them into half barrel planters. Likely will replant in ground next winter season, maybe. If they do well, we may not. Hopefully, there will be enough for pectin. Otherwise, they will pollinate our apple trees. I got the dwarf trees. One in the front yard, two in back yard. I am happy with them.

I must have been in a “hurry before it is sold out” mode or else I wouldn’t have ordered a mini. It is definitely mini.

There was a beautiful structure to the Everest crabapple tree that we received. It was a healthy, well-cared for looking specimen.

The trees arrived as described, and established very well before our hot summer. They are healthy and vigorous. They had beautiful white blossoms in the spring and are now covered with the most beautiful ripening fruit yellow/red. I like the more subtle beauty of this variety when compared to other malus. I was disappointed that the main leader was topped on all of these trees. I plan to grow these pleached with a final height of around 8 feet. I think with proper winter and summer pruning I will get there, but there may be a kink in the trunks at 2-3 ft where the trees were all topped before shipping.
