Description

The Granny Smith variety of apple tree exhibits a medium to strong vigour. It typically blooms in the mid to late season, approximately 2-3 days after Golden Delicious. With its reliable and abundant yields, Granny Smith proves to be an excellent pollinator. While it is partially self-fertile, it thrives with the presence of other pollinators such as Idared, Braeburn, Arlet, Fuji, Gala, Golden Delicious, Jonathan, Red Delicious, and Idared.

The fruit of Granny Smith boasts distinct characteristics. Its flesh appears white, offering a crisp and firm texture. The apple is juicy, slightly acidic, and possesses a full and sharp flavor, giving it a unique and recognizable taste. The skin of Granny Smith is green with prominent white lenticels, and it takes a conical-oval shape. Additionally, the fruit size is typically medium to large.

Harvesting of Granny Smith apples takes place at the end of September, approximately 17 days after Golden Delicious. This variety is highly valued for its outstanding storage potential, as it can be stored until the following picking season. This makes Granny Smith a preferred choice for commercial use in the apple industry.
