Delicate florets, grand fruit decoration and ornamental foliage! Malus x floribunda combines all of this to form an eye-pleasing garden tree. It is a large shrub or small tree that grows densely branched and broadly arched with its branches hang over strongly. It forms a beautiful crown in round to umbrella shape. Its small flowers unfold in dense umbels in May, which are followed by decorative small ornamental apples. In spring, it is littered with countless flowers made of snow-white petals with a delicate pink tint. Fruits that follow the flowers gain yellow-green colour with red blush. The profusion of flowers and fruits in Malus Evereste is backed by the lush, bright green foliage that has the potential to delight any garden with its flaming orange-red colours in Autumn. The white to light pink flowers release a sweet scent that attracts bees and bumblebees. Malus x floribunda thrives in a sunny to partial shady spot. It prefers a well-drained, moist garden soil that is rich in nutrients. Watering is advisable in drought; however, note that it does not tolerate water logging. Prune it in Feb-March by removing any damaged or dead shoots and wild shoots. The ornamental floribunda does not need any winter protection outdoors. The container plants are to be protected against winter frost. Malus floribunda is a beautiful specimen plant that grows 20 to 40 cm annually. It will decorate wide areas in the garden when grouped together. It is perfect for planting near pond shores, at the edge of rosaries, in decorating the terrace and roof gardens.
