Owner's comments
We had two Arkansas Black semi-dwarf apple trees, but a tornado in March of 2015 blew the better of the two down. They were both moderately damaged around 2011 when an ice storm hit. Arkansas Black produce some of the best late-maturing apples I know of, keeping well, well into the new year.Season records for this tree
