Gala apple is a favorite, enjoyed for its medium sized fruit with golden yellow skin with reddish orange blush. Gala has flesh that is crisp, firm, sweet and juicy with excellent flavor. Ripens late August to early September, and is semi self fertile. Chill hours needed only 500, yet hardy to USDA zone 5 and higher. Gala is great for fresh eating, cooking, drying, juice, jams and sauces. Our fruit trees are shipped potted in soil to ensure a healthier start when planted in your orchard or garden. Also consider an apple trees for the explosion of pretty white flowers that adorn the tree each and every spring. Trees are about 4 feet tall when shipped.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I be doing to prepare my fruit trees for winter?
Follow appropriate guidelines for winter time pruning for your particular fruit tree for your particular area. Some trees make fruit on two year wood thus needing a different approach to pruning then those which fruit on spring wood such as peaches or nectarines. If you are un-sure, contact your local nursery professional or feel free to call or email us. Click on "Contact Us" for phone and email address.

Any products I should be applying to help them maintain good health?
Apply a dormant spray appropriate for your area. This usually involves an insecticide such as Volck or Safe-t-Side Oil that smothers any over wintering critters. Apply a copper fungicide while the trees are dormant to prevent typical spring time issues such as brown rot or leaf curl. The copper fungicide is 'soft' on the environment. www.montereylawngarden.com has many of these products and it looks like they ship directly to consumers. It has been a company I've been familiar with for a long time.

Anything else?
Yes. Rake up any fallen leaves and pick up any moldy fruit that may have fallen to the ground, as many of next years issues over winter here. A good clean environment around the tree in the winter will prevent many headaches next spring.
