Pollinator required to bear fruit

A classic for a reason!

One of the most popular apples ever discovered, this heirloom variety came from Australia around 1868. Its extra-crisp texture and sassy sweet-tartness make it a natural for baking, but it’s also one of the best lunchbox apples around. Cider made from Granny Smiths adds an extra measure of tart you’ll absolutely love. The recognizable bright green apples appear on tip-bearing trees, and can even be grown in warmer climates. Keeps up to 6 months when properly stored.

Ripens in late October. Pollinator required.

  1. Clint N. Paschal

    Not a very good example of the normally excellent trees I receive from Stark’s. The bareroot plant was very poorly pruned before shipping. I’ve planted it and it’s doing fine…I’ll “correct” the pruning this Winter when dormant.

  2. Anonymous Shopper

    Can’t wait until this begins to bear fruit! Don’t know how long that takes but this is a nice healthy tree.

  3. SHIRLEY DEMAY

    Tree arrived as described. Planted as soon as it arrived. The tree has thrived and grown three (3) times it size since I got it a year ago.

  4. KENT SNYDER

    The GS tree arrived last year (november) in good shape pre-pruned we planted it and now we’re waiting for it to break dormancy. thankfully we had an easy winter here In NW Oh. so the rabbits left it alone. I’m hoping in a couple yrs. we can make pies from the fruit.

  5. LARRY TRAMMEL

    Timely shipping, tree packed properly, but it was VERY tiny and don’t think it was worth the purchase price. I would be very hesitant to order from Stark Bros again.
