Granny Smith Apple Tree Bare Root

The Granny Smith Apple Tree (Malus domestica 'Granny Smith') is a classic fruit tree known for its bright green apples, crisp texture, and refreshingly tart flavor. A favorite for both fresh eating and cooking, Granny Smith apples are firm, juicy, and exceptionally versatile. Their tangy flavor makes them especially popular for pies, crisps, tarts, applesauce, cider, salads, and baking, while their crunchy texture also makes them a great choice for snacking straight from the tree. In spring, the Granny Smith Apple Tree produces attractive pink buds that open into white blossoms, adding ornamental beauty to home orchards and edible landscapes while attracting bees and other pollinators. The fruit typically ripens in mid to late fall, developing its signature green color and excellent storage quality. Granny Smith apples are known for keeping well after harvest, making them a valuable variety for extending the homegrown apple season. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, Granny Smith grows best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture during establishment and fruit development. For reliable production, plant near another compatible apple variety that blooms at the same time for cross-pollination. Mature trees commonly reach about 12-20 feet tall and wide, depending on rootstock and pruning. With its famous tart flavor, dependable productivity, and excellent culinary value, Granny Smith is a standout choice for backyard orchards and family gardens.
