Apple Gala

$49.99

Malus domestica ‘Gala’ 

Wonderful, early-season apple with reddish-orange skin, striped over yellow. Crisp, dense, aromatic flesh with a nice blend of sweetness and tartness, rich flavour. Harvest February-March. Partially self-fertile, but requires pollination with a similar-flowering variety such as ‘Fuji,’ ‘Granny Smith,’ ‘Golden Delicious,’ ‘Monty’s Surprise,’ and others for best fruit production. Grows approximately 4m high x 3m wide.

Plant in a sunny, sheltered spot in free draining soil prepared with organic matter. Stake for support until established. Water frequently while young, during long, dry periods and while the fruit is developing. Frost tolerant while dormant but protect fresh buds from spring frosts.
