The Gala produces plenty of heart-shaped fruit the first year under optimal conditions. Its one of our most popular apple trees, maybe because it makes the best apple sauce! Harvest your apples in August or September.

• One of the country’s most popular apples!
• Produces fruit years earlier than other apple trees
• Low maintenance, grow organically

Don’t wait 3 to 5 years to start picking your Gala apples – plant a better developed tree for earlier fruit and a lifetime of more apples!

Gala apples are so popular because of their sweet taste, but more importantly their crisp, firm texture. They resist bruising, softening and other defects. You can even store them for up to 6 months.

You will start picking your apples in late August or September and continue through the fall. Soon you should get 6 to 12 bushels from each tree, so you’ll have plenty to share.

Gala Apple Trees are adaptable and easy to grow. Yours will quickly mature to an ideal height of up to 15 feet and have a full, oval shape - making it an attractive yard tree as well.

You can even grow your Gala Apples organically. Grow your fruit without spraying chemicals.

It’s critical that you purchase an apple tree that is already “branched”. This is where the nursery prunes its young trees back to promote more branches. More branches mean more fruit, earlier production, stronger limbs and a healthier tree. This method has already caused our apple trees to produce fruit in our nursery!

Most nurseries sell tall, skinny stems with no branches – these are referred to as “whips”. They can take several years to fruit and will generally be less productive when mature.

Our trees are pruned back and trained to develop a massive branching structure. This process means more work and an extra year for us, but the difference you experience is dramatic.

Before your trees are shipped, we give them one final pruning at no additional cost to you. This final pruning allows your trees to remain "dwarfed," which means you have more apples at a safe, easy picking height!

With proper care, you will be able to start picking apples after the first season, or as soon as the first year under optimal conditions.

Good choices for cross pollination would be any other apple tree we carry, such as the Granny Smith, Yellow Delicious, Red Delicious, McIntosh or Jonathan apple trees.

Order early because our popular Gala apple trees sell out quickly. Only limited quantities available.

Your Dwarf Gala Apple can be planted any time of year!

We Hate to Wait and know you do too! That's why Fast Growing Trees Nursery leads the industry in how quickly we get your order out. While some orders go out immediately, most are shipped within 7-10 days of your order date. This does not include transit time, which can be several days depending on your state.

We try to avoid plants being in transit over the weekend, which may cause your order to be shipped out at the beginning of the following week. We use FedEx so your order is shipped quickly.

Several products are delayed shipping until the Fall or Spring. These delays are stated on the product description page and helps us insure that you get the healthiest plants possible. On rare occasions, we will delay shipping if we see severe weather forecasts for your area or ours or if we encounter other unusual issues.

If you would like to postpone or reschedule your ship date, just call us and we can send your plants out at a more convenient time for you. If you are sending plants as a gift or need them quicker than normal, we encourage you to place your order by phone.

It's Easy to Plant your Dwarf Gala Apple
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dwarf Gala Apple. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Dwarf Gala Apple gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Dwarf Gala Apple again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
