Product Details
Meet the delightful Purple Crab Apple, also known as Malus ‘Mokum’. Discovered amidst the serene grounds of Henk Wansing Nursery in Holland during the 1990s, this charming tree emerged as a gem among its peers, nestled snugly between Malus ‘Profusion’ and Malus ‘Liset’.
Come springtime, prepare to be dazzled by a spectacle of nature as the Purple Crab Apple bursts forth with a profusion of enchanting blossoms. Picture-perfect purple-brown buds unfurl to reveal lusciously dark flowers tinged with hints of pink, beckoning bees and butterflies alike to partake in the floral feast.
As the season unfolds, small fruits emerge, painting the tree in hues of reddish-purple akin to a violet rose. These dainty fruits persist through the winter months, offering a visual treat and attracting a medley of chirping birds, thereby enriching the tree's ecological significance.
Whether gracing the landscape as a striking centrepiece or clustered together to create a breath-taking vista, Malus ‘Mokum’ stands as a testament to year-round beauty, sure to captivate the hearts of all who behold its splendour.
