'Gala' Mini-Dwarf Apple Trees
'Gala' Mini-Dwarf Apple Trees
Mini-dwarf Gala apple trees will produce full-size apples on trees that only grow 4-6 feet tall.
The Gala apple is a popular variety known for its mild sweetness, crisp texture, and thin, yellow-orange skin streaked with red. Its juicy and aromatic flesh makes it a favourite for fresh eating, while its natural sweetness enhances salads, snacks, and desserts. Gala apples are small to medium-sized, with a low acidity that appeals to a wide range of tastes. They store well and are versatile, making them one of the most widely grown and enjoyed apple varieties globally.
Mini-dwarf apple trees are ideal for easy picking, easy pruning, and container gardening. Mini-dwarf apple trees are dwarfed by being grafted to dwarfing rootstock. They produce at an earlier age than full-size apple trees and, due to their small size, you can fit several different varieties in the same space as one standard or semi-dwarf apple tree.
All of the apple varieties we offer (both mini-dwarf and columnar) are suitable varieties for cross-pollinating each other.
