1 Gala Apple Tree – Grafted Fruit Tree in Gallon Pot, 3 Ft Tall Malus domestica

The Gala Apple Tree is a popular choice for home orchards, known for its sweet, crisp fruit and attractive spring blossoms. This grafted tree is ready to plant and can bring fresh, homegrown apples to your garden. Gala apples are versatile for fresh eating, baking, and cider making. With its manageable size and reliable fruiting, this tree is well-suited for backyard growers.

Grafted onto a rootstock, this tree offers the benefits of a known variety and often begins bearing fruit sooner than seed-grown trees. The Gala apple tree features a rounded canopy with dark green leaves and produces clusters of white to pink blossoms in spring, followed by medium-sized apples with red-orange striping over a yellow background. It is a favorite for its pleasant, sweet flavor and crisp texture.

Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Prune in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches. Gala apple trees benefit from a compatible pollinator variety nearby for best fruit set.
