The availability of dark-skinned apple cultivars, often referred to as black apples, presents an opportunity for individuals to cultivate unique fruit-bearing trees. These trees, distinguished by the deep, almost black coloration of their mature fruit, are sought after for their distinctive appearance and flavor profiles. The term indicates a commercial transaction involving the acquisition of these specific fruit tree varieties.
Cultivating these cultivars can contribute to orchard biodiversity and offer consumers a novel fruit option. Historically, dark-skinned apple varieties have been appreciated for their aesthetic appeal, storage qualities, and potential use in specialty food products. Their cultivation reflects an interest in preserving and promoting less common apple types.
