Did you know that the Granny Smith apple was unintentionally created in Australia in 1868? Maria Ann "Granny" Smith had been cooking with French crab apples and dumped the remains in her yard. Soon after a chance seedling had sprung up where she dumped them. Smith propagated the seedling, finding the apples to be good for cooking as well as general consumption.
After her death, the new owners of her farm exhibited "Granny Smith's seedling" at horticulture shows. As the apple took off in popularity, they stuck with the "Granny Smith" name—which I'm sure everyone found to be much more appealing than "Granny's Crabby Compost apples".
