READ FULL DESCRIPTION. These apples with nearly black skin are from Bentonville, Arkansas and the 1870s. We think the ones from our orchard have a distinctly spicy flavor. These are coveted by cider makers for their complexity and intensity. These are very late season apples. These trees are slower growing and we have a small number of them so scion wood is limited and tends to be smaller than average.

NOTE ABOUT ORDERING: The pieces we have left in stock on this variety are only about 4” long. We usually try to cut a foot long piece, but these are slow growing and we have sold out of the long pieces. The small pieces are still big enough to graft, but we are offering them at a discounted price now because of the smaller-than-standard sizing.
