Granny Smith Apple Tree for Sale

The Granny Smith Apple Tree is one of the world's best-loved apple varieties and is instantly recognisable by its striking bright green skin. Originally discovered in Australia in the 1860s by Maria Ann Smith, this classic variety has stood the test of time and remains a firm favourite in gardens and kitchens around the world.

Granny Smith apples are known for their refreshingly tart, crisp flavour and firm texture, making them perfect for eating fresh, baking, juicing, and adding to salads. The firmness of the flesh means they hold their shape beautifully when cooked, making them one of the top choices for pies, tarts and cobblers.

Our Granny Smith Apple Trees for sale are grafted, which means they begin producing fruit much sooner than seed-grown trees and are more reliable and consistent in their fruit production.

The Granny Smith Apple Tree is a deciduous tree that produces beautiful white spring blossoms before the fruit appears. It is a vigorous, strong-growing tree that responds well to annual pruning, making it suitable for gardens of all sizes.

Apple trees thrive in areas with cold winters, which provides the necessary chilling hours for the tree to set fruit. The Granny Smith requires a high number of chilling hours, making it best suited to the cooler, higher-altitude regions of South Africa such as the Cape Winelands, the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, and parts of the Highveld.
