Ozarks Gardening

Older Ozark apple varieties

7 years ago

Ok folks, the hunt is on for all the old obscure varieties that originated in the ark/mo ozarks! I've been able to add Arkansas Beauty and Tull this year, both on the supposedly extinct list. Ask anyone you think may know of an old tree or abandoned orchard. We need Brightwater, Howard Sweet, Ozone, Highfill Blue, Florence, or any of the old lost apples. Help me add these to my orchard and share them with the gardening world in the future. Thanks and God bless.

One of my favorites (and still in production I think) is Arkansas Black.

I'm doing a series of location-specific ciders through the midwest and am interested in knowing if you have come across any good sources for abandoned or wild apples in your region
