The fruit of the Gala apple is medium-sized with a distinctive yellow-orange skin overlaid with red striping. Its creamy-white flesh offers a perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, making it ideal for snacking, fresh salads, baking, and juicing. With its thin skin and juicy flesh, Gala apples are a delightful addition to any fruit bowl or picnic basket, offering a burst of flavor with every bite.

In addition to their exceptional taste, Gala apple trees are also prized for their ornamental value. In spring, these trees burst into bloom with clusters of delicate pink and white flowers, adding a touch of elegance to the landscape. As the seasons progress, the foliage of Gala apple trees provides a lush backdrop of green, creating a picturesque scene in any orchard or backyard garden.

One of the many benefits of growing Gala apple trees is their ease of cultivation. These trees thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, although they can tolerate a range of soil types and growing conditions. With proper pruning and care, Gala apple trees can be trained into a variety of shapes and sizes, from compact dwarf varieties suitable for small gardens to standard-sized trees for larger orchards. They ripen in September. They are great for fresh eating, cooking, baking, and freezing.  Pollinate with red declious, golden delicious, honeycrisp, granny smith, Jonathan or fuji.
