Green Apple Granny Smith (Malus domestica) – Premium Seeds from Deodar Seeds
Green Apple Granny Smith (Malus domestica) is a crisp, tart, and highly versatile apple variety, known for its vibrant green skin and exceptional storage life. Originally discovered in Australia in the 1860s by Maria Ann Smith, this variety quickly gained popularity worldwide for its firm texture, refreshing acidity, and excellent adaptability to various climates. It remains a top choice for both fresh consumption and culinary use, making it a staple in home orchards and commercial apple production.
Plant Characteristics
Granny Smith apple trees are vigorous, medium to large-sized deciduous trees, reaching heights of 3–6 meters (10–20 feet) with proper pruning. They produce dense, dark green foliage and delicate white to pink blossoms in early spring, attracting pollinators. The apples are medium to large, typically measuring 6–8 cm (2.5–3.5 inches) in diameter and weighing 150–250 grams (5–9 oz) per fruit. The fruit ripens in mid-to-late autumn, developing its signature bright green skin with occasional subtle yellow undertones.
Taste and Health Benefits
Granny Smith apples are crisp, firm, and refreshingly tart, with a juicy texture and balanced acidity. They are rich in fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants, supporting digestive health, immunity, and weight management. Their low sugar content makes them an excellent choice for healthy diets and diabetic-friendly meals.
Cultivation Guidelines
Granny Smith apple trees thrive in temperate climates and prefer full sun (6–8 hours daily) with well-draining, loamy soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Seeds require cold stratification for 2–3 months before planting to ensure successful germination. Once stratified, sow seeds in moist soil at 15–25°C (59–77°F), with germination occurring within 3–8 weeks. Young trees need regular watering and fertilization, while mature trees require occasional pruning to maintain shape and productivity. Fruit production begins within 5–7 years after planting.
Uses and Applications
Granny Smith apples are widely used for fresh eating, baking, juicing, and cider-making. Their firm texture and tart flavor make them ideal for pies, crisps, and caramelized desserts, while their acidity enhances salads and savory dishes. Additionally, apples are used in natural skincare for their brightening and exfoliating properties.
