MALUS ARKANSAS BLACK
Grower Notes:
Malus domestica 'Arkansas Black' is a heritage variety of apple, originating from the mid-19th Century in Benton County, Arkansas. It is a large, vigorous deciduous tree that grow 15 feet tall with a 12-foot spread. Arkansas Black apples are generally medium sized with a bit of a flattened shape. Generally, very dark crimson red on the tree with a slight green blush where hidden from the sun. It is one of the darkest of all apple cultivars, hence the name. They have a crunchy flesh, fairly tart, rich flavor when fresh-picked that gets mellow with storage.
Arkansas Black Apple thrives in full sun in deep, loamy, moderately fertile, slightly acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It does not tolerate heavy clay.
