Black apples worth $7 each aren't worth it for farmers to mass produce them

[post_page_title]Growing slowly[/post_page_title]
Unfortunately, Black Diamond apples are not easy to grow. Because they are cultivated under such harsh and diverse conditions, they take much longer to grow than the average apple. While any other apple will take between 2-3 years to fully mature, the black apple could take up to 8 years to do this.

This is because the low temperatures stunt the growth of the apple. As if that wasn’t enough, Black Diamond apples are also checked with a fine-tooth comb in terms of their coloring before they are sold. Only 30% of all Black Diamond apples actually pass quality control.
