GRANNY SMITH

Basic information

This variety of apple has a medium to strong growing habit with firm and robust branches that spread out as it grows. It produces fruit early and regularly, so it is recommended to thin it out to ensure optimal growth. The flowering of this apple variety occurs in the middle of the season, right after the Golden Delicious variety.

For pollination, it is recommended to have Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, or Galan apple trees nearby. The appearance of the fruit is round and spherical, with vibrant red stripes even on the shady side. The flesh of this apple is crisp, juicy, and aromatic, offering a sweet taste with almost no acidity. It is also high in sugar content.

In terms of size, the fruit ranges from medium to large and is evenly sized. The harvest period for this variety typically begins in the beginning to middle of October. Commercially, this apple is highly sought after due to its great appearance and sweet taste, making it an excellent choice for desserts. The tree is also known for withstanding frost very well and is highly productive. Additionally, it has great storage capabilities, able to be stored in cold storage until March and in CA storage until June.
