Description

Historic favorite bright green apple! Whether fresh eating or cooking, the granny smith apple’s sweet and tart taste ranks it among the most popular apple trees. Perfect for pies, caramel apples, cider making, or low-calorie nutritious snacking. This medium to large size apple has a firm and crisp texture that has made it an apple lover’s favorite. Granny Smith apples are one of the best-storing apples and can be kept up to six months given the proper storage.

The Granny Smith apples ripen in late October. The trees are best suited for loamy, well-drained soils. This heat-tolerant apple tree originated circa 1868 in Australia. The granny smith apple tree thrives in full sun locations. Pollinator required: Choose another apple variety. See recommended pollinators below.

Love My Stark's Granny Smith Apples
In 2011 I purchased your Granny Smith Apple Tree. After 6 years, I have enjoyed the best apples ever, plus I am able to share and even sell some at our fruit market. Others have told me that my Granny Smith Apples are the best. Since my tree is doing great, I even purchased another Granny Smith apple tree this year so I and others can keep on enjoying these wonderful apples.

Granny Smith.
This little apple tree is doing great. I purchased it at late spring and it's gotten quite robust since then. I highly recommend Stark Brothers for your plant needs! I've been buying from them for three years and if I've ever had a problem, they've always made it right.

The right tree for us
Our Granny Smith tree arrived at the right time for our growing zone (so appreciate that!). It is healthy and thriving, putting on leaves. Love that Stark Brothers has so many ways to pick the right tree for your area and your purposes. They are a great resource! We would buy from them again.
