View prices and availability
Small to medium-size tree with distinctly upright ovoid crown. The crown is of moderate density. The year-old twigs are purplish brown. The sprouting leaf is reddish turning bronze to purple-green in the summer. The 3 to 4 cm purplish pink flowers open from brown-purple buds in May. They are followed by approx. 1.5 cm crab apples. These are red to purplish red and remain in the tree until the end of November. ‘Mokum’ began as a seedling between a batch of M. ‘Profusion’ and M. ‘Liset’. A good crab apple that is only slightly susceptible to scab and hardly ever suffers from mildew or canker.
