Arkansas Black Apple

A small to medium size red apple that matures into a deep purplish-red color that may have an appearance of being almost black in color. Originating in Arkansas and hence the name, the Arkansas Black Apple is believed to be a direct decendant of the Winesap apple. The yellow flesh is firm and crisp providing a tart aromatic flavor. As an apple that can remain fresh flavored when kept in cold storage, this variety will keep for 6 months if stored and refrigerated properly.
