The Granny Smith variety of apple tree exhibits a medium to strong growth pattern. It typically begins flowering in the middle to late stages, about 2-3 days after the Golden Delicious variety. Notably, Granny Smith trees serve as excellent pollinators and consistently produce high yields.

When it comes to pollination, Granny Smith is partially self-fertile, but it achieves the best results when cross-pollinated with other varieties such as Idared, Braeburn, Arlet, Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Jonathan, Red Delicious, and Idared.

In terms of appearance, the flesh of Granny Smith apples is white in color and possesses a crisp and firm texture. The apples are juicy, slightly acidic, and boast a distinct sharp flavor, resulting in an excellent and recognizable taste. The skin is green with prominent white lenticels, and the apples have a conical-oval shape. Generally, the size of the fruit ranges from medium to large.

Harvesting of Granny Smith apples takes place at the end of September, approximately 17 days after the Golden Delicious variety. As for commercial use, Granny Smith is highly regarded for its exceptional storage potential. It can be stored until the following picking season, making it a reliable choice for the industry.
