Harvest date: September 1-21, available until November 1

The parentage of the Gala is a cross between the Golden Delicious x Cox's Orange Pippin. The Gala matures to a bright overall red color, with bold red stripes over a yellow background. The fruit is firm, juicy, fine textured, with a yellow white flesh. The Gala is sweet, with a slightly tart flavor. It is a highly coveted apple by the consumer, with great bouquet, flavor and color. The Gala demonstrates the highest current and future domestic market demand of all the new varieties, and is also a very good keeper, (shelf life-6 months in regular storage)
