Malus Domestica Gala Must Apple Tree

Malus Domestica Gala Must Apple
Malus Domestica Gala Must or Apple Gala Must is also synonymous with Malus Domestica Prince Gala and Malus Domestica Regal Prince. The Gala Must originated New Zealand and features Malus Domestica Gala (Gala Apple) as its dominant parent. It was named after a historic royal visit of Queen Elisabeth II.

During the mid spring months, Apple Gala Must produces ample pink blossoms that slowly fade to a whitish hue. Following flowering, the tree starts to develop a good crop of lovely solid red apples. The fruit tastes crisp and sweet. It has ample juice and a very aromatic flavour. The flesh is bright yellow and fleshy. The apples are a favourite snacking apple or can be used in cooking. The fruit often ripens early and should be ready for harvest during the month of October. If you want to increase the size of the apples then it is suggested that you cull the apples down to one per cluster.

From an apple tree perspective, this tree is mid-sized. It should be planted in a site that provides full sun for adequate fruit production. Choose a planting site that features well-draining soil. To promote a healthy root growth, mix abundant organic matter into the soil when planting the tree. For the first year of growth, keep the soil evenly moist. Once the tree is established, it is moderately drought tolerant. It typically only requires watering during dry times. The tree should be trimmed annually during the late winter to promote new, healthy growth.

The Apple Gala Must is an ideal fruit tree for any type of orchard. Its modest mid-size makes it perfect for any sized landscape. Malus domestica Gala Must is an excellent pollinator. It also requires a nearby pollinator in order to produce fruit. It can be pollinated by most any variety. The tree grows over most of Western Europe with ease and requires very little care to produce a bountiful harvest every fall.

If you are seeking a delightful, juicy, sweet eating apple, then the Apple Prince Gala is a very good choice.
