The true parentage is still unknown but is possibly French Crab. Like all the best old varieties it has a bizarre history, being discovered in Austrialia in the 1860s as a seedling growing in the remains of a rubbish tip. Granny Smith pre-dates the modern approach to apple development and marketing.
But she's always there to dispense wisdom and comfort (and stories) to ponies.Perhaps the most instantly recognisable of all apple varieties and one of the most widely known, Granny Smith is also one of Australia's most famous exports. Most of the responsibilities are Applejack's now. By Season 3, her mind is sharp as a knife and she has the vitality of a young mare, with her senility toned down into more harmless eccentricity.įor the most part, Granny Smith is a well-meaning but often scatterbrained old lady, who often forgets things and doesn't do a lot of physical labor on the farm. She got a significant increase in mobility and lucid moments during Season 2, but her senility was still there. Granny Smith was very weak, slow, frail, and definitely senile during her debut in the pilot.
She is a member of a group of other grandmares called The Gold Horseshoe Gals (a reference to The Golden Girls).
Soon, ponies came from miles around and settled down in the same area, and the town of Ponyville was formed. She and her family developed all sorts of recipes for Zap Apples, most notably, Zap Apple Jam, which they sold to other ponies passing through the area. She got back to her house and started banging a pan against a cooking pot to wake everyone up and warn them of the Timberwolves. She picked as many apples as she could, but was then chased out of the forest by the Timberwolves. But food was scarce, so young Granny Smith went into the Everfree Forest to look for edible plants, and found a Zap Apple Tree. She and her family of pioneer ponies came to the empty land to build their first home. Granny Smith was instrumental in the founding of Ponyville.
