Granny Smith
The Granny Smith is a tip-bearing apple cultivar, which originated in Australia in 1868. It is named after Maria Ann Smith, who propagated the cultivar from a chance seedling. The tree is thought to be a hybrid of "Malus sylvestris", the European wild apple, with the North American apple "Malus pumila" as the polleniser.
The fruit is hard, with a light green skin and crisp, juicy flesh. The flavour is tart and acidic, which possibly limits raw consumption.
