Gala Apple

Sweet, Early & Incredibly Reliable

The Gala apple is a backyard orchard favourite for good reason — it's one of the earliest ripening varieties, producing beautiful red-striped fruit with a mild, sweet flavour that kids and adults love. If you want fresh apples from your own tree as early as August, Gala is your answer.

Why Gardeners Love It

• ⏰ Early harvest — one of the first apples ready to pick, often in late August
• 🍎 Sweet, mild flavour — crowd-pleasing taste perfect for fresh eating and lunchboxes
• 🌿 Heavy producer — reliable crops year after year
• ❄️ Cold hardy — well suited to Ontario's climate
• 🌱 Supplied bare root — plant in early spring for best results

Pollination

Gala requires a pollinator for best fruit set. Great matches from our collection include McIntosh, Honeycrisp, and Spartan. Or consider our Multi-Apple tree for built-in pollination and variety!

Growing Notes

Prefers full sun. Water regularly in the first season. Thin fruit in June for larger, better-quality apples at harvest.
