Any leads on a Black Jack apple tree in the United States? My reply: Dear Nathan.Blackjack apples over here are now extremely rare; when I started looking for a tree the last official mention I could find for these apples was in the 1930s. They're not commercially available over here, and I don't think they are available in the USA either. As a note, we generally recommend planting a Golden Delicious Apple Tree within close proximity of any apple tree, because it is an excellent pollinator variety. Mature Tree Size. Make sure you pick the right size apple tree for your available space. Columnar Apple Trees mature to be about 8-10' tall, but only 18-24' wide. This makes them.
