Arkansas Black apples gained popularity for their unique color, pleasant flavor, and incredible ability to store well. Late to ripen and a heavy producer. Susceptible to apple scab and fireblight, but generally resistant to other major apple diseases and pests including codling moth larval damage due to its thick, tough skin.
