Granny Smith

Granny Smith is a very late-maturing, late-keeping dual-purpose apple. Flesh is hard, crisp, juicy, with excellent tart flavor. Fruit is grass green and shiny. In cooler climates, may develop a reddish blush. The tree is vigorous and sets crops early and heavy. Granny Smith is not recommended for areas with short growing seasons.
