Evereste Crab Apple Pleached Tree Description

The Evereste Crab Apple pleached tree is a beautiful and versatile ornamental tree, ideal for adding seasonal beauty and structure to your garden. When pleached, it forms a neat, formal shape that makes it perfect for creating privacy screens, hedges, or as a feature tree in both traditional and contemporary landscapes. Known for its striking blossoms, vibrant fruit, and year-round interest, the Evereste Crab Apple pleached tree offers both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits.

Pruning Advice

To maintain the pleached form and promote healthy growth, regular pruning is essential. Here are some tips for pruning your Evereste Crab Apple pleached tree:

Timing: The best time to prune the Evereste Crab Apple is in late winter or early spring, while the tree is still dormant. This helps the tree recover quickly before the growing season begins. Light pruning can also be done during the summer to tidy up any unwanted growth.

Method: Start by removing any dead, damaged, or diseased branches. Next, focus on maintaining the tree’s formal pleached shape. Trim back any lateral branches that disrupt the symmetry of the tree and create a clear framework. Ensuring the canopy is uniform will help the tree maintain its attractive, structured appearance.

Encourage New Growth: Pruning helps encourage new growth and can lead to a denser canopy, which enhances the tree’s overall appearance and maximises its ornamental value. Be sure to remove any suckers or shoots that emerge at the base of the tree or along the lower branches to maintain the shape.

Light Maintenance: Throughout the growing season, regularly remove any unwanted shoots or growth that may alter the pleached form. Light, consistent pruning ensures the tree maintains its shape without becoming too overgrown.

Annual Check-Up: Regularly inspect the tree for any pests or diseases that could affect its health, especially after pruning. Promptly address any issues to ensure the tree remains strong and healthy.

Further Information

Stunning Spring Blossoms: In spring, the Evereste Crab Apple tree produces an abundance of white to pale pink flowers. These fragrant blooms cover the tree in a stunning display, making it a focal point of your garden. The flowers are a magnet for pollinators such as bees, ensuring that your garden benefits from increased biodiversity.

Attractive Autumn Fruit: Following the spring bloom, the tree produces small, round yellow-orange crab apples in autumn. These vibrant fruits provide additional visual interest and attract wildlife, including birds and small mammals. While not typically edible for humans, they are a valuable food source for birds during the colder months.

Compact Size: Typically growing to a height of 3 to 5 metres (10 to 16 feet) when pleached, the Evereste Crab Apple is well-suited to smaller gardens or confined spaces where a full-sized tree may not be practical. Its compact size makes it perfect for creating structured hedges or privacy screens, while still offering a significant ornamental impact.

Wildlife-Friendly: The Evereste Crab Apple tree is not only attractive to pollinators in spring but also supports wildlife in other seasons. The small fruit is a valuable food source for birds and other wildlife, making it a great choice for eco-conscious gardeners.

Seasonal Interest: The Evereste Crab Apple provides interest throughout the year. In spring, it offers beautiful flowers; in summer, it has dense green foliage; in autumn, the vibrant fruit and foliage add warmth to the garden; and in winter, the tree’s structure remains, offering a feature even without leaves.
