Apples - Gala

The Gala apple is round, bright reddish orange with slight vertical striping along the apple. Before maturing on the tree, the Gala is peppered with hints of orange and yellow from its grandparent the Cox Orange Pippin that matures to a saturated bright red color. Its flesh is ivory to pale yellow in color that snaps with a crispy bite. Many also report a wonderful fragrance with the Gala though this author has not noticed that. One of our early ripeners- the Gala helps form the sweetness found in our early cider productions. Generally smaller but great for kid's lunches.
