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

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.

Beautiful tree

Beautiful tree. I bought these trees as a remembrance of family member who had died recently. Very nice. Can’t wait to enjoy the apples when they come.

Going to make it I think

Arrived in good condition but I could not plant it for several days because of the severe weather we were having. The instructions said that if it was in a burlap bag to plant that bag and all. It already had lots of growth but most of it wilted. Seems to be coming back now. I checked for green cambium close to the top and it is fine.
