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.

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.

Granny Smith satisfied customer
The apple tree is doing very well, it has leafed out beautifully and I am very happy. In a few years Amarillo, TX will have one less buyer of Granny Smith apples. I soaked the roots before I planted it and it is very happy.

So for I am very happy with my granny smith apple tree. It has done very well with our weird weather this year. I will need to add a support rod for it just to keep it straight.
