Malus 'c.v.Simmons Gala'
Buckeye Gala ® Apple (c.v.'Simmons Gala')
Superior red strain of 'Gala' due to the red colouring earlier in the season compared to other strains. May have the potential of producing a good red skin colour in growing areas that generally struggle to attain colour. Possibly too dark in areas where good colouring usually occurs. Matures approximately - early 25 days before Red Delicious
