Apple Royal Gala is an apple tree known for its attractive appearance and delightful flavour. Originating from New Zealand, this variety is a cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious. The fruits are medium-sized, featuring a bright red blush over a yellow background, with a crisp texture and sweet flavour that has subtle hints of vanilla. Ideal for home orchards, Royal Gala trees are compact and reliable in fruiting, and they also suit espalier training along fences or garden walls, making them perfect for maximising space in smaller gardens.
Royal Gala apples thrive best in full sun and require well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Regular watering is essential during the growing season, particularly when the trees are young or when fruits are developing. For successful fruit production, these trees need to be cross-pollinated with another apple variety, necessitating the planting of a compatible type nearby. Typically, Royal Gala reaches a height of 2-4 metres and a spread of 2-3 metres, depending on pruning and growing conditions.
