GRENSIT

The Granny Smith apple variety is a late-ripening winter variety with high popularity in many countries around the world. The tree grows rapidly in the first five years, reaching heights from 2.5 to 3.5 meters, after which growth slows down. The crown is round, proportional, with smooth bark and pale green leaves. White-pink flowers with a honey aroma appear in April-May, giving the tree a decorative look. Preventive treatments are recommended in the spring for successful cultivation, as the variety is sensitive to bacterial burn and powdery mildew.

Fruits ripen in September-October and are distinguished by their large size - about 300 grams. Apples have a shiny, thin skin with a slight waxy coating; its color varies from green to yellowish-green depending on the lighting. The flesh is juicy, dense, and possesses high taste qualities with a characteristic acidity. The harvest is collected gradually, while the fruits stay on the peduncles for a long time, which facilitates collection. During the period of maximum ripening, it is recommended to strengthen branches to prevent them from being damaged under the weight of the fruits.

The Granny Smith variety is characterized by good transportability and high yield, making it in demand among both professional gardeners and amateurs. The tree has average frost resistance, which should be taken into account when choosing a planting region. To increase yield, it is recommended to plant pollinator apple trees nearby, as the variety is partially self-sterile. Fertilization is carried out as needed, and crown formation and pruning are performed depending on the condition of the tree.
