Quick update. A week or more ago I picked all but 3 apples. Went down there the other day and plucked this one off the tree due to all the insects. Others are holding strong. I see this one as a late hanger. ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171021/a1bf23f6b17d25a2d7ca38a1c2000aed.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171021/64d035baeaa5c658d882d64199b61fe9.jpg)

I picked and brought home one of the two remaining hanging apples. We tried eating it tonight and both didn't like it, it went into compost. I guess this one will be for the deer! Haha

Everything I've read/heard about Ark Black is that they aren't very good right off the tree. Storing them for a month or so is supposed to improve the flavor dramatically.
Those damn asian beetles are something else. They were getting into my red raspberries all fall.

I have 6-8 stored in a basket downstairs. I will give them a try sometime in December as I have read that too!

Update: I tried one about two weeks ago and the seeds weren't quite ready. Picked another and gave it to grandma to check out. Bottom seems ripe, top maybe needs another week? Super cool color, my aunts love the look of it! ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171002/51435bfe60afaa024a9ce2f330597e0e.jpg) ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20171002/07390f0dbafd1336471ee142bd1dbb52.jpg) Great pictures man, love it!

The trapping guy who goes by the Trooper has some on his place. He showed me pics and they produced a ton of apples last year. He gave me some sticks so I grafted my first this spring. It will be a while before I know anything about mine. He says they are great for wildlife and produce consistently every year.
