Description

The World Gala Apple Tree is a vigorous, self-fertile variety with rapid fruiting. It produces carmine red fruits on a yellow background, which are conical and regular in shape. Their firm flesh is sweet, slightly acidic, crisp, juicy, and fragrant. The early harvest takes place in late August and September, and the fruits can be stored until March. The World Gala Apple Tree is not self-fertile. It has a moderate susceptibility to diseases.

The apple tree is native to Europe, including France, where its presence has been documented since ancient times. The World Gala Apple Tree is a naturally mutated colour variation of the Gala variety, stabilized by Mitchell in New Zealand. It first appeared in catalogs in 1998.

The World Gala Apple Tree has an upright habit, giving it a very elegant and slender appearance. It has regular, uniform, and abundant productivity, requiring thinning to prevent small fruit size and the occurrence of diseases.
Its foliage is composed of large, ovate leaves that are slightly fuzzy and greenish-brown on top, and white-greenish underneath, with deeply dentate margins.
The late white flowering occurs in late April and is not susceptible to frost. Therefore, the apple tree is suitable for cultivation in all regions. Cross-pollination is necessary as it is self-sterile. The varieties 'Granny Smith' and 'Golden Delicious' are the most suitable.
Fruiting begins in late August and continues in September. The fruits can be stored in a cool place (cellar or refrigerator) until March. The carmine red fruits on a yellow background are conical and regular in shape. Their firm flesh is sweet, slightly acidic, crisp, juicy, and fragrant.

These apples are particularly good for eating fresh or cooking. They can also be used in pastries, jams, jellies, or savory dishes, paired with Normandy cheeses, for example.

Planting and care

Choose a sunny location for your World Gala Apple Tree, the soil can be slightly alkaline or acidic but not excessively. Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the volume of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (topsoil, compost) and a base fertilizer such as crushed bark. Do not bury the graft collar. Stake if necessary. Water abundantly, even in winter, even if it rains. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, outside of the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted year-round except during periods of extreme heat or frost.

You can add a small handful of wood ash, rich in potash, during winter, this will improve fruiting. Watch out for possible aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery coating due to a fungus, powdery mildew, may appear on the leaves in summer, but this does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only keep harvested fruits. Store apples with the stem facing downwards, on shelves or in crates. Choose a preferably completely dark, dry and cool place, but frost-free.

Care

Pruning instructions The size of your apple tree can be limited to a simple pruning of dead or obstructive branches at the end of winter, in March. During the first 3 or 4 years, you can also encourage the formation of 4 or 5 main branches, giving the tree a goblet shape, which is traditional in fruit tree culture. In any case, make sure to leave some spaces in the tree's structure for good air circulation and light. Don't hesitate to thin out fruit clusters in June. Removing some fruits relieves fragile branches and helps achieve a better size.
