Granny Smith is one of the most widely grown commercial apples. Known for its green colour, sharp flavour and firm texture, the fruit can be eaten either be eaten straight from the tree or cooked. Aside from the fruit, this tree features pale pink flowers in spring which are lightly scented and its leaves are green until autumn, when they turn red and orange. This tree requires a warm situation to be grown successfully in the UK.
To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same or adjacent flowering group (e.g. Greensleeves).
