today we have our only completely green apple, the Granny Smith! discovered in Australia in 1868 by its namesake Maria Smith, it was one of the original supermarket varieties. it's quite hard and very sour, and its popularity has been waning with more bi-coloured and sweet apples being introduced to supermarkets.

sources: australian dictionary of biography, orange pippin (and here's the wikipedia article!)

(i am doing this entirely for fun! that's why you'll see i only do very cursory research. that said, if any info is incorrect, please tell me and i'll update my post!)

#apples #sal's a-z apple studies #i considered a great many apples for today-- G was nearly gala or golden delicious #there was also one apple i was really tempted to do even though it isn't a variety #it's called the grāpple (gray-ple) and it's a fuji or gala apple with artificial grape flavour #though i don't think they're being sold anymore #in the end i went with granny smith because it would have been my only completely green apple #but yeah! many interesting apples that start with G #granny smith apple
