Malus Mokum (Malus ‘Mokum’)
This type of ornamental crab apple trees is quite striking and admired for its year-round beauty and resilience in Irish gardens. Being compact & upright it brings a delightful display each season — from its profusion of deep pink blossom in spring to its glossy green summer foliage, followed by clusters of small decorative fruits that provide interest well into autumn and winter.
The spring flowers of the Malus ‘Mokum’ are particularly eye-catching, emerging as vibrant pink-red buds that open to rich pink blooms, making it a favourite for pollinators and a stunning feature in any garden. Unlike some other crab apple varieties, the Mokum produces dark red, almost purple fruits that not only extend its ornamental value but are also attractive to birds and wildlife.
With its manageable size and upright habit, the Malus Mokum is ideal for smaller gardens, ornamental borders, or as a standalone feature tree. It is also valued for its disease resistance and ability to thrive in Irish soils and weather conditions.
At Cullen Nurseries, our Malus Mokum trees are supplied bare root at 8ft in height, available for planting during the dormant season from November through March.
What makes Malus Mokum different from other crab apple trees?
The Malus ‘Mokum’ is prized for its unusually dark red-purple fruits and vibrant deep pink blossoms. Native Ornamental crab apple trees produce bigger fruits and white flowers.
When is the best time to plant Malus Mokum in Ireland?
As a bare root tree, the best planting time is from November through March, while the tree is dormant, to encourage strong root establishment.
How tall does Malus Mokum grow?
The Malus Mokum typically matures to around 4–5 metres with a compact, upright form, making it well-suited to smaller gardens as well as larger landscapes.
Are the fruits of Malus Mokum edible?
While technically edible, the small dark red fruits are quite tart. They are best left for ornamental value or enjoyed by birds and garden wildlife rather than for eating fresh.
