The Granny Smith apple is grown in many fruit-growing areas of Australia.
It also grows in New Zealand, USA, parts of South America, British Columbia Canada and the United Kingdom.
The Granny Smith apple originated in Australia. It developed around 1865 from a chance seedling propagated by Maria Ann Smith, nicknamed "Granny Smith" - hence the name of the apple. The Granny Smith apple came about when "Granny Smith" discovered a seedling apple, which had developed from the remains of some French crab apples grown in Tasmania, growing by a creek on her farm. It wasn't commercially developed in Granny Smith's own lifetime, but the apple continued to be cultivated by local orchardists.

There was once a lady named named Mary Smith but everyone called her granny. She brought some rotten apples from the markets and threw them out next to the river. A tree then grew with green apples. So Mary Smith called them Granny Smith. (You may not believe me but it's true, my teacher told us in Yr 8!)
