The Leprechaun Apple tree is a compact, spur bearing dwarf Granny Smith apple variety. Leprechaun® Dwarf Granny Smith produces full size, high quality Granny Smith apples. It also requires minimal pruning! Leprechaun® is a true dwarf variety as the tree itself is dwarfing (as opposed to the variety being grafted onto a dwarfing rootstock). It requires a pollinator (another variety which flowers at the same time).

The Leprechaun® apple occurred naturally as a branch on a Granny Smith apple tree. The original Granny Smith apple was found in Ryde, NSW, and is a deciduous tree that produces a green, crisp-flesh apple suitable for eating straight from the tree or for cooking the best apple pie ever!
