About the Black Oxford apple

This apple originated in Paris, Maine (Oxford County) around 1790. Black Oxford is not strongly flavored but has a good dense texture and a striking, deep purple color. Keep in mind, as is true for many older varieties, our Black Oxford trees tend to bear biennially, or every other year.

McDougal Orchards grows Black Oxford apples. Located only 45 minutes from Portland, ME and 1.5 hours from Boston, MA, McDougal Orchards is easy to get to. Come enjoy picking your own fruit during the typical harvest season of Mid October, enjoy Apple Cider Donuts at Capt. Jack's Donut Shack on the weekends and browse our farm store with lots of goodies.
