Arkansas Black Apple Tree Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
Arkansas Black Apples thrive in full sun, so make sure you plant in a spot that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

Watering
Water regularly each week when the soil gets dry 2-3 inches down. Make sure to water more often if the tree is potted or there is a period of drought.

Fertilizing
Follow label instructions on an apple-specific fertilizer, usually applying several times from April until August.
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!

Healthy when delivered, size as expected.
Got it as a companion
Got it as a companion for a Winesap tree. Arrived in great condition (with a few apples) and already seems to be making itself at home. Bigger than I would have expected. Very satisfied.
