{"product_id":"granny-smith-apple","title":"Granny Smith Apple","description":"\u003cp\u003eGranny Smith Apple produces firm, crisp green fruit with the bright tart flavor prized for fresh eating, pies, and baking. The tree needs a compatible apple blooming at the same time; Gala is a commonly used partner where bloom periods overlap. Granny Smith benefits from a long warm growing season, but its moderate chill requirement can make crops variable after unusually warm winters. Confirm the nursery rootstock before publishing final spacing or mature size. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eMalus domestica 'Granny Smith'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rootstock-dependent; commonly 10–25 ft tall × Rootstock-dependent; commonly 10–20 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate; commonly listed around 400–600 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Requires a compatible apple blooming at the same time; Gala is commonly compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-season\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall; long warm season needed for best maturity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Firm, crisp green apples with bright tart flavor; excellent for fresh eating and baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular moisture while establishing and during fruit development; well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vigorous deciduous grafted fruit tree; mature size depends on rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train to a central leader; prune while dormant and thin fruit clusters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home orchard, edible landscape, fresh eating, pies and baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers support pollinators; fruit attracts wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant size, harvest timing and performance vary with climate, rootstock where applicable, soil, pruning and care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Towns Edge Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45139884507344,"sku":"FRT-1009-05G","price":58.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/6954\/1584\/files\/GrannySmithAppleCgpt1.png?v=1788635329","url":"https:\/\/townsedgenursery.com\/products\/granny-smith-apple","provider":"Towns Edge Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
