Malus 'Gala' (Apple)

Malus ‘Gala’ — Apple
A beloved classic, ‘Gala’ is prized for its early ripening, exceptional sweetness, and crisp, juicy texture. Fruits are beautifully striped in red and gold, with a mild, honeyed flavor that makes them perfect for fresh eating, snacks, and salads. Trees are productive, reliable, and easy to grow with good overall disease resistance.

‘Gala’ blooms in mid-spring with fragrant white blossoms that attract pollinators, and begins producing abundant crops at a young age. Like most apples, it requires a pollinator—pair with another mid-season bloomer such as ‘Honeycrisp,’ ‘Fuji,’ or ‘McIntosh’ for best yields.
