Technical details:
Botanical Name: Malus domestica 'Granny Smith'
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack
Plant Type and Growth Cycle: Perennial fruit tree. It takes 3 to 5 years to begin significant fruit production.
Plant Height: Medium-sized tree, which can reach 3-5 meters in height depending on the rootstock and pruning practices.
Uses: Ideal for fresh consumption, perfect for fruit salads, juices, cider, and a wide range of baked goods such as cakes and strudels. Also suitable as an ornamental landscape element in the garden.
Tasting Notes: The fruits are deep, glossy green with a thick rind. The flesh is bright white, exceptionally crisp, juicy, and has a distinctly tart and refreshing flavor.
Hardiness and Origin: The Granny Smith variety is native to Australia and adapts well to temperate climates, requiring sufficient chill hours during the winter. It exhibits good overall resistance to common apple diseases when grown in optimal conditions.
Sowing and Harvest Period: Granny Smith apple tree seeds are typically sown in spring, after cold stratification for 60-90 days. Harvesting of ripe fruit generally occurs between late summer and early autumn (September-October), after the tree has reached productive maturity.
Optimal Germination Conditions: Requires cold stratification to break dormancy. Once stratified, seeds germinate best at temperatures between 15°C and 20°C.
Soil Type: Prefers well-drained, deep soils, rich in organic matter, with a slightly acidic or neutral pH (pH 6.0-7.0).
Recommended Exposure: Requires a position in full sun, with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day for vigorous growth and abundant fruiting.
Germination Times: After proper stratification, germination may take 2 to 4 weeks.
Pot or Ground Cultivation: Growing in the ground is recommended to allow the tree to reach its full productive potential. However, it is possible to grow young trees in large pots in the first few years, or opt for dwarfing rootstocks for permanent container cultivation.
Quality Specifications: Our organic garden seeds are selected for their varietal purity, are Non-GMO and boast high germination, ensuring an excellent starting point for your cultivation.

Thanks to their high germination rate and non-GMO nature, you can be sure of a solid foundation for your tree.
