Malus domestica Granny Smith

Granny Smith Apple Tree

This fruit tree, with its rounded and spreading habit, is known for its abundant production of bright green apples that are crisp, juicy, and tart, ideal for fresh eating, cooking, and desserts. In spring, its white blossoms with a slight pink tint attract pollinators and add ornamental value to the garden. Its dark green foliage turns yellow in autumn, providing additional seasonal interest. For optimal fruit production, it is recommended to plant another compatible apple tree nearby to encourage cross-pollination. Varieties such as ‘Gala’, ‘Honeycrisp’, ‘McIntosh’, or ‘Red Delicious’ are excellent pollinators for ‘Granny Smith’. Maintenance consists of removing dead or diseased branches and lightly pruning in late winter to promote good air circulation and abundant fruiting. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and protect the roots during winter.
