From Apples of New York- S.A. Beach: “The Arkansas Black is one of the most beautiful of apples. It is a good keeper and commands a good price in market. The color is a lively red deepening on the exposed side to purplish-red or nearly black. The tree is unproductive and not desirable for general planting.” Arkansas Black is distinct from the Arkansas or Mammoth Blacktwig. Pg. 93, DeLORME Northern California Atlas & Gazetteer.
