Description
The Gala apple is medium-sized fruit with a mild and sweet flavour and a crisp, crunchy texture; it has an orange/yellow/red striped skin, and white to cream flesh.
Whilst these apples store well the flavour decreases with age and are best eaten straight from the tree in October.
The blosson is a pretty white with a pink tinge.
Gala was produced by J H Kidd in approximately 1960 in New Zealand and named in 1965.
- Likes a sunny position.
- Mid-late season variety.
- Season of use: October to January.
- Partially self-fertile - but pollination by another apple will maximise yield.
- Parentage: Golden Delicious x Kidd's Orange Red.
