Malus pumila Granny Smith

Description

A late, dessert apple with bright yellow-green skin and firm, white flesh which is crisp and refreshing at its best, but can be just acidic, with little flavour. Requires a hot climate to do well, and often ripens poorly in the UK. Self-fertile trees produce heavy crops in mid-autumn, storing to mid-spring. Named after Mrs Anne Smith, from Peasmarsh, Sussex who migrated to Australia in 1838 and discovered this tree as a seedling where she had discarded some old apples
