The Granny Smith apple, known for its bright green skin and tart flavor, is a popular variety used for both eating and cooking. It’s a large, firm apple with crisp white flesh, and is known for its excellent storage qualities. While it is self-fertile, planting it near other apple varieties like Golden Delicious or Red Delicious can improve yields. The apple originated in Australia and was named after Maria Ann Smith.
