It is a popular variety of apple tree that originated in Australia and is now grown in many parts of the world. The Granny Smith apple is known for its crisp, tart flavor and its ability to store well. The tree grows to a height of around 15 to 20 feet and has a spread of about 12 to 15 feet. It has a rounded crown and a dense, spreading growth habit. The leaves are dark green and oval-shaped, with serrated edges. The Granny Smith apple tree produces medium-sized fruit that is round in shape. The skin of the apple is bright green, and the flesh is firm, juicy, and tart. As the fruit ripens, it can take on a slightly yellowish hue. The tree is relatively easy to grow and can tolerate a wide range of soil types, although it prefers well-drained soils with good fertility. It requires full sun exposure and moderate watering, especially during the growing season. The Granny Smith apple tree is not self-fertile, which means it requires a second apple tree for pollination, such as the apple Gala tree or the apple Fuji tree. In summary, the Granny Smith apple tree is a popular and highly valued fruit tree that produces delicious and tart apples. With its attractive growth habit and easy-to-grow nature, it is an excellent choice for home orchards or as a feature tree in a backyard garden, especially when planted with a compatible pollinator tree such as the apple Gala or the apple Fuji.
