Technical details for successful cultivation:
Botanical name: Malus domestica 'Granny Smith'
Seed quantity: 10 carefully selected seeds to ensure high germination.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial fruit tree, requiring patience for the first fruits to appear a few years after planting. It offers long-lasting production and can live for decades.
Plant height: The average height of a Granny Smith apple tree can vary from 3 to 5 meters without intensive pruning and depending on the rootstock used.
Uses: Extremely versatile in the kitchen. Ideal for fresh consumption thanks to its crunchiness and refreshing flavor. It's delicious in cakes, pies, and strudels, perfect for fruit salads thanks to its slow oxidation, and an excellent ingredient in juices, ciders, and sauces.
Tasting Notes: Medium-large fruits with a smooth, glossy skin of a characteristic bright green that persists even when ripe. The flesh is white, exceptionally crisp, very juicy, and has a distinctly acidic and refreshing flavor.
Hardiness and Origin: A robust and adaptable variety, native to Australia. It exhibits good hardiness in a variety of temperate climates, but prefers cold winters for proper dormancy and abundant fruiting.
Sowing Time: For optimal germination, seeds require a cold stratification period of 60-90 days (simulating winter) before being sown in spring.
Harvest period: Ripening generally occurs in late October or early November, allowing for late harvesting and long-lasting fruit preservation.
Optimal conditions for germination: After stratification, sow in a light, well-drained substrate (e.g. peat and perlite), maintaining a constant temperature between 18°C and 22°C. Humidity must be kept high but without stagnation.
Soil Type: Prefers fertile, deep, well-drained soil with a neutral or slightly acidic pH (pH 6.0-7.0). Avoid heavy, clayey soils that can cause waterlogging.
Recommended exposure: Requires a position in full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for abundant fruit production and proper ripening of the fruits.
Germination times: After stratification and sowing under ideal conditions, germination can occur in 2 to 6 weeks.
Pot or ground cultivation: Although open ground is ideal for the tree's full development and maximum production, cultivation in very large pots (at least 50 litres) is possible with careful pruning and adequate care.
Quality Specifications: Our vegetable seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), selected for their varietal purity and proven high germination, ensuring a successful start to your organic vegetable garden and a harvest of exceptional quality apples.
