Granny Smith
11/6
All green apple with a tart flavor. Excellent for baking and for eating fresh in
salads or with dips. Granny Smith apples originated in Australia in 1968 when Mary
Ann (Grannie) Smith found a seedling growing in her backyard garden. Growers in
Washington state began growing Granny Smith apples in the 1960’s; but they are
not widely grown in NYS because of the late ripening date and weather conditions
that cause the apple’s generally smooth green skin to take on a somewhat bumpy
texture and a pink blush. A mix-up of bud-wood from the nursery resulted in The
Apple Shed having just enough trees to offer these late baking apples to our
customers!
