Author: I.J. Warrington

Abstract:
'Granny Smith,' like many of the
current commercial apple cultivars,
arose as a chance seedling.
It has been
in cultivation for over 120 years but
did not achieve significant volumes on
international markets until after 1950.
It is grown widely in many countries
throughout the world but is particularly
important in the southern Hemisphere
(i.e., Australia, Argentina, Chile, New
Zealand, South Africa) where production in 1991 was estimated to exceed
50 million cartons (one carton = approximately 18.5 kg). It currently
accounts for about 7% of the USA
production and about 4% of European
apple production.
