Granny Smith is a heritage apple cultivar that originated in Australia (1868). It was grown primarily for cooking, eating. This is the apple once used to represent Apple Records. The U.S. Department of Agriculture documented it with 3 watercolour studies (1873–1875), painted by Royal Charles b. Steadman and Mary Daisy Arnold, as official botanical identification records made before colour photography.
