Arkansas Black Apple

Arkansas Black apple trees are compact, spur-bearing apple trees hardy in zones 4-8. At maturity they reach approximately 12-15 feet (3.6 to 4.5 m.) tall and wide. When grown from seed, Arkansas Black apples begin to produce fruit in about five years. The fruit set and quality improves with maturity, eventually causing the tree to produce an abundance of large, softball sized deep red to black apples.
