The Star Gala
Discovered by Ed Weaver in 1995 and patented in 2004 , the Star Gala is an exciting new selection of Fulford Gala. The Gala apple variety is known to have a juicy, crisp flesh and a wonderfully sweet taste. It is a tempting apple for snacking and is also great in salads.
The Star Gala continues the reputation of the Fulford Gala; however, its attributes exceed the Fulford in several realms. The most obvious attribute to the average consumer is the exceptional fruit size - boasting fruit that is 5/8” – 1” larger than its parent. To the grower, the appealing attribute is the smaller tree size allowing closer spacing between plantings. Star Gala ripens around August 20-25, making it the first Gala we have available in our market.
