I think I need to eat more apples. You know, the whole health schtick that goes along with eating them? So, what about granny smiths? What's cool about them, etc.?
The granny smith apple is named after Maria Ann Smith, she propagated the apple from a chance seedling.
So there is an actual Miss Smith, eh? Okay, so what else is good about the Granny Smith?
They have a hard, light green skin and their flesh is crisp and juicy.
Okay, but what's something more specific? Harder to know? Gimme some of that expert knowledge!
The tree is actually a hybrid of "malus sylvestris" or the European Wild Apple and the domestic apple "M domestica" as the polleniser.
