(zones 5-9) famous tart apple
Available on both Bud 9 and MM111 Rootstock.
Granny Smith apples are a bright green, firm, and famously tart apple cultivar first propagated in Eastwood, New South Wales, Australia, in 1868 by Maria Ann "Granny" Smith. Sharp, tangy, and acidic with minimal initial sweetness, though the flavor mellows and sweetens slightly as the fruit ripens or cooks. They hold their shape well under high heat without turning to mush, making them a premier choice for pies, crisps, tarts, and baked goods. USDA Hardiness Zones 5 through 9. Blooms Mid-Season. Granny Smith is classified as partially self-fertile, it requires cross-pollination from a different apple variety to reliably set a heavy, consistent crop of fruit, such as Gala, Honeycrisp, and Golden and Red Delicious. Trees are bench grafted 1/4-3/16 inch diameter and 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall when shipped.
