The Granny Smith apple originated in Australia in 1868. It was discovered by Maria Ann “Granny” Smith in her orchard. The tree is oval-shaped and can grow to be 12–16 feet tall and wide. In spring, the tree has bright pink buds that open into white blossoms with pink edges. The fruit is medium-to-large, bright green, and has white specks. Granny Smith apple trees prefer full sun and well-drained soil. They can grow in a variety of soils, including clay, loamy, moist, and sandy. They should be planted in spring or fall, but avoid freezing temperatures and extreme heat. Granny Smith apple trees require a warm climate to ripen properly. Granny Smith apple trees are self-fertile, but they produce a larger crop if planted with the same variety. The fruit ripens between August and September.
