Malus domestica 'Granny Smith', known as the Granny Smith Apple, is a renowned apple cultivar celebrated for its bright green skin and tart, crisp flavor. Originating in Australia, it grows 3–4 meters tall and 2–3 meters wide, featuring lush green foliage and fragrant white spring blossoms.

This tree has an upright, spreading habit, ideal for orchards and home gardens. It prefers full sun, moderate watering, and regular late-winter pruning to maintain health and encourage fruit production. Cross-pollination with varieties like ‘Fuji’ or ‘Golden Delicious’ is required for best yields.

Granny Smith apples are versatile for fresh eating, baking, and cooking, holding their texture and flavor well when heated, making this tree a valuable and attractive addition to any garden.
