This variety was found as a chance seedling at an Australian garbage dump. It has since become one of the most popular apples for cooking. It forms a firm fleshed fruit with a shin y apple green exterior. The flavour is tart and crisp and refreshing. Granny Smith apples are good for pies where they retain their shape in cooking. They are also well suited for use in salads where the acidity of the fruit is balanced by other ingredients.Our Granny Smiths’ fruits ripen very late in the season, often coinciding with our Christmas baking, since they hang on the tree longer we find the tartness well balanced with some sweetness. They require warm days and warm nights properly ripen thus a sunny exposed site is best. Granny Smith apples are suitable for espalier and cordon growing. A pollinator is required. Dwarf. Show more
