Granny Smith Apple Tree
Cultivate your own source of wonderfully crisp and tart green apples with the Granny Smith Apple Tree. These trees produce large, bright green apples known for their firm texture and refreshing flavor, making them incredibly versatile for fresh eating, baking, or cider. This hardy, late-season variety thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, requiring moderate chill hours. Grown on semi-dwarf M111 rootstock, the tree reaches a mature height of 12 to 15 feet. It is vigorous, productive, and disease-resistant, though cross-pollination enhances yields. Expect a significant crop about five to seven years after planting.
