The Baker's Favorite Apple

Why Arkansas Black Apple Trees?

Its unique, dark red-purple apples are filled with delicious tart and sweet flavors that are irresistible. Once you bite into a crisp Arkansas Black Apple you’ll know why it’s the baker’s favorite apple: Their sharp flavor has a sweet aftertaste with nodes of sugar and cinnamon.

And you’ll get a good number of apples each season – juicy, robust apples that emerge after only one year and can be stored for months. Best of all, your Black Arkansas Apples will be ready for harvest around November, just in time for cider season. Plus, planting, growing and harvesting your Arkansas Black Apples is easy - though you will need two different Apple varieties planted nearby (or one self-fertile variety like the Gala or Granny Smith), the entire process couldn't be simpler.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

But the top benefit is our Arkansas Black Apple’s strong start. Because we’ve grafted, grown and trained our Arkansas for more branching and better results, you get consistency in size, color and taste, year after year. We’ve done the extra work (and nurtured your tree for months) so that you get guaranteed performance.

Don’t hesitate to order your own, one-of-a-kind Arkansas Black Apple Trees – these popular varieties sell out quickly. Get your Arkansas Black today!

Very nice

Got this as a companion for another Apple. Wasn’t too sure about it by the end of the first summer, as it had lost a lot of leaves, but this spring it has popped out beautifully with many leaves and more blossoms than the older tree I got it for!

This tree had 4-5 partially

This tree had 4-5 partially broken branches upon arrival. However, I wrapped those branches and they seem to be doing ok atm. Im hoping they will repair themselves, if that is even possible. Otherwise this tree seems very healthy.
