Naturally a STAR since its creation. This tree is of semi-spreading growth, reaching a height of 3 to 4m in ten years and has a harmonious shape, which it keeps without the necessity of pruning. Its foliage is green. In April, 'Evereste' covers itself in bright pink flower buds, which bloom as pure white bouquets of flowers. The quality and the abundance of its pollen make it an ideal pollinator, precious for fruit growers (in proportion of 6 - 8% of all varieties of early or semi-early flowering). The cherry sized fruits are orange with thin red stripes. They apprear in autumn and have the particularity to last well into winter. 'Evereste' has also been chosen by the INRAE selectors for its resistance to the major diseases such as fire blight, scab and mildew. Nearly a million plants have been sold in Europe since its creation in 1974. Its ornamental qualities, its reasonable dimensions and its easy care make it an excellent small urban tree if grown full standard; in clumps it is very valuable in the composition of flowering hedges and in shrub borders.

A novelty for the Sorbaria genus : foliage with long lasting colours, a growth that stays compact Concerning the Sorbaria species, where novelties are rare, PINK HOPI® 'COUSORB05' has been chosen for its qualities, different from those of 'Sem'.The compound, serrated foliage is delicate, light and harmoniously layered. It is a remarkable plant, due to its young variegated shoots which are red, pink and cream, then veined with white. Bud burst is extremely precocious, starting in early March. The shoots withstand the cold (at least up to -3° C). The colourful period lasts a month longer than in the traditional varieties, the shrub shines until the end of Mai. Later, in the summer, the foliage turns green.The shape of PINK HOPI® has the additional advantage of staying compact and this selection produces less suckers. Its dense foliage makes it a good ground cover.The white flower panicles bloom in June - July.The shrub does not need any maintenance (neither treating nor pruning). It is very hardy.
