Grow a true Australian classic with the Granny Smith apple tree!
Discovered in New South Wales in the 19th century, this iconic variety is known for its bright green skin and crisp, juicy flesh with a refreshing tart flavour.
Delicious eaten fresh or used in pies, crumbles and sauces, Granny Smith is a versatile addition to the home orchard. Its spring blossom and autumn harvest make it a rewarding tree for gardeners who love growing their own fruit.
This grafted apple tree is best planted in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil. Granny Smith generally suits cooler, temperate regions where winter chill helps support reliable flowering and fruit production.
For better fruit set, plant near a compatible apple variety with overlapping flowering times. Pink Lady can be a suitable pollination partner where their flowering overlaps.
With its distinctive tangy flavour and versatility in the kitchen, Granny Smith is a wonderful choice for a productive home orchard.
