Granny Smith apple trees grow best in USDA hardiness zones 6 through 8.
Here’s a little more detail:
-
Zone 6: They thrive here, as they get enough chill hours (around 400–600 hours below 45°F) and have a full growing season.
-
Zone 7: Ideal — plenty of chill hours and warm enough for consistent fruit production.
-
Zone 8: Still good, but make sure your area gets those required chill hours. Some parts of zone 8 (especially warmer ones) may not get quite enough cold in winter.
If you're in zone 9 or higher, you might need a different apple variety that needs fewer chill hours.
🌱 Growing Season (Spring–Summer)
-
Daytime temps: 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C) — perfect for healthy leaf, flower, and fruit development.
-
Nighttime temps: 50°F to 70°F (10°C to 21°C) — helps with steady growth and fruit quality.
❄️ Winter (Dormancy)
-
Granny Smith apples need 400–600 chill hours below 45°F (7°C) during winter to break dormancy and produce fruit well. This means they like some cold in the off-season but not extreme freezes.
🔥 Heat Tolerance
-
They can handle short heatwaves, but temps above 90°F (32°C) for extended periods can stress the tree, slow growth, and cause sunburn on the fruit.
