Properties and uses:
Apple tree will probably be your first choice if you decide to plant some fruit trees in your garden. It is at home in any types of soil, as long as they are not too dry.
Flowering takes place in Spring, with small bunches of pinkish white flowers. They are followed by fruits. Then all you have to do is wait for the harvest before biting apples right off the tree…
Apple trees need a pollinator from a different variety in order to bear fruits. The Apple tree Perpetu® 'Evereste' is a worldwide pollinator.
Finally, it is important to keep a regular look out for diseases, to prune and feed the tree every year, to ensure a good harvest.
It produces good-sized bright red and yellow crunchy and juicy sweet apples.
They can be eaten right off the tree without peeling, as they are free of pesticide or chemical treatments.
These apples are excellent for making juice, vinegar, purées and apple sauce.
Plant them now: the shortest way to your plate is through your garden!
