Description:

            The Granny Smith apple was first discovered in the 1860s in Australia, and is now claimed to be the third most popular apple varietal in the U.S.  It is a sweet, tart, and sharp apple, that has a crisp, firm, and juicy texture when eaten.  It is very popular as a cooking apple due to the fact that it keeps its structure when cooked.  It is also raising in popularity more recently due to its use in cider-making.  This apple has a notoriously bright-green skin.  Late-harvest in late-October or early-November.  Usually crops well but has tendency to grow biannually.  Excellent pollinator.  Stores very well.
