Malus domestica ‘Gala’ is a medium-growing, deciduous fruit tree known for its crisp, sweet apples and compact size, making it an excellent choice for home orchards. Commonly called the Gala Apple Tree, this semi-dwarf variety reaches 12-15 feet in height and spread, with a rounded canopy and light pink to white spring blooms. The fruit ripens in September, producing firm, red apples that are perfect for fresh eating, baking, and freezing. While self-fertile, it benefits from cross-pollination with Granny Smith or Red Delicious for increased yields.
Thriving in full sun and loamy, well-drained soil, this variety is suited for zones 4-9 and provides valuable nectar and pollen for bees, while its fruit is enjoyed by birds and mammals. Care should be taken to protect young trees from rodents and rabbits, which may girdle the trunk. With its disease resistance, manageable size, and high fruit quality, the Gala Apple Tree is a versatile and productive choice for backyard growers.
