{"product_id":"apple-granny-smith-dwarf-tree","title":"Dwarf Granny Smith Apple Tree","description":"\u003cp\u003eDwarf Granny Smith Apple Tree offers the unmistakable snap, tartness, and glowing green color of a classic all-purpose apple on a tree that is easier to fit and harvest. Large apples remain firm and vividly acidic when picked, with dense flesh that holds its shape beautifully in pies, crisps, tarts, and baked dishes. For fresh eating, the brisk flavor is refreshing on its own and pairs naturally with cheese, nut butter, and sweeter fruits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGranny Smith also stores exceptionally well, extending a late autumn harvest into winter. White-pink spring blossoms add charm before the familiar green crop develops, and cool nights may paint some fruit with a surprising blush. For cooks, tart-apple enthusiasts, and small-space gardeners, this dwarf tree combines culinary reliability with accessible scale and one of the most recognizable apple flavors in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDwarf Granny Smith needs about 400 chill hours and grows in USDA zones 6–9. On Geneva 969 rootstock, it generally ripens from mid-October into mid-November.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGranny Smith is self-fruitful and can bear alone, but Fuji or Gala can improve pollination and support a stronger crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDwarf Granny Smith Apple Tree Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large solid-green apple that may blush after cool nights\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor and texture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very crisp, dense, juicy, and distinctly tart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh eating, pies, crisps, tarts, baking, sauce, and storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-October to mid-November\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill hours:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 400 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTree size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dwarf on Geneva 969 rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Self-fruitful; another compatible apple may improve fruit set.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended pollinizers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pair with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/apple-fuji-dwarf\"\u003eDwarf Fuji Apple\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/apple-gala-dwarf\"\u003eDwarf Gala Apple\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial care:\u003c\/strong\u003e Give this late apple a long sunny season and thin clusters for size and branch strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSomething Special:\u003c\/strong\u003e The original Granny Smith tree grew near Eastwood, New South Wales; the dwarf form differs only in the rootstock used to control its size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrchard Planning Resources\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/bare-root-tree-selection-guide\"\u003eBare Root Tree Selection Guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/planting-bare-root-trees-for-beginners-a-comprehensive-guide\"\u003eHow to Plant Bare Root Trees\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1Rdt4TYt4fE0vpvNhXDgewxzwx4hg8xQc8_14DbtDKNc\/edit?usp=drivesdk\"\u003eFruit \u0026amp; Nut Tree Characteristics\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/e\/2PACX-1vRTawkXXtycdiTxe58p-gVjdAzuxvNCc7sZ9wri56m0rgvBQIbRObXuK2hSdDHL08ev0R3uzcupme6D\/pubhtml\"\u003eTree Rootstock Characteristics Chart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Grow Organic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21548882165873,"sku":"FT017","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/files\/FT017.jpg?v=1747082331","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/apple-granny-smith-dwarf-tree","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
