With deep crimson, almost purple skin, Arkansas Black is a striking apple. It is very similar to the Arkansas Black Apple except the Arkansas Black Spur offers a much more compact size and growth habit due to the buds and branches growing more closely together. This apple is crunchy in texture, with smooth waxy skin, and well balanced sweetness to acidity. It is great for baking, fresh eating and is a favorite of cider makers. Another benefit of this apple is the wide range of temperatures it can handle, from icy winters to blazing hot summers. This tree also blooms late, avoiding frost bitten blooms.
