GrandGala Apple

Malus domestica 'GrandGala'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Deciduous Tree
Plant Family: Rosaceae
Plant Description: This is a great apple tree that produces fruit that is a larger version of Gala. The fruit is sweet and is great for fresh-eating, cooking, and baking. It has white blossoms in the spring which develop into beautiful yellow and red fruit that ripens in late August to early September. This tree does need another variety of apple, such as a Golden Delicious, in the area to help with pollination.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Tree - Fruit
Plant Care: Tree - Fruit (single-stemmed woody plants cultivated for their edible fruit): Prune regularly to promote health, provide air circulation, maintain a desirable shape, and to remove dead or damaged branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring. Pruning techniques vary depending on tree species. Understand the needs of each tree type before pruning. Provide adequate water and nutrients to aid in fruit development. Thin fruit as necessary to avoid excessive stress on the tree, especially on apple and peach trees. Fruit trees will require pest control to reduce damage to fruit and to keep the tree healthy. Find out the appropriate pest control methods for the species before attempting to control pests.
