Did You Know?

The Star Gala is an exciting new variety of Fulford Gala, discovered right here at Weaver's Orchard! This apple is characterized by its exceptional fruit size, ranging from 3 to 3.5 inches in diameter!

The Star Gala is an exciting new selection of Fulford Gala discovered by Ed Weaver in 1995 and patented in 2004. The Gala apple variety is known to have a juicy, crisp flesh and a wonderfully sweet taste. The star gala is an excellent eating apple with the quality you would expect in a Fulford gala.

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.
