"Welcome to your personal orchard adventure with our Arkansas Black Apple Tree! Renowned for its unique and striking dark red to almost black apples, this deciduous beauty is a treasure for any garden or homestead.

Arkansas Black Apple Tree (Malus domestica)

A striking and hardy heirloom, the Arkansas Black Apple Tree is prized for its dark, almost purplish-black apples with a dense, crisp texture and complex, sweet flavor. First grown in the mid-1800s in Bentonville, Arkansas, this variety is a favorite among apple lovers for its unique color, excellent storage life, and rich taste that improves over time.

Perfect for fresh eating, baking, or cider-making, Arkansas Black apples are firm and tart when first picked, maturing to a deeper sweetness with a few weeks of storage. This self-pollinating tree is also a great pollinator partner for other mid- to late-season apples.

Watering: Maintain consistent moisture, especially during dry spells, to encourage healthy growth.
