Gala

Gala’ is a variety of apples originating in New Zealand, which was obtained in 1934 from the crossing of ‘Orange Red’ and ‘Golden Delicious’ varieties.

They grow moderately-strongly, creating quite wide and conical crowns. Less densely at the beginning. The branches are covered with numerous shoots.

Red Jonaprice

The variety, which is a naturally occurring Jonagold mutation, was created in the Netherlands in Weert in 1994. A characteristic feature of Red Jonaprince is its exceptionally deep red colour which contributes to its extremely appetizing appearance. In addition, the fruit of this variety, due to its dense, fine-grained flesh, remains suitable for consumption for a long time, and it maintains high taste qualities. This Dutch variety with intense red colour, smooth peel covered with natural waxes, is highly appetizing. The yellowish, crunchy and very aromatic flesh is pleasantly sweet. Apples taste light and fresh thanks to the right proportion of sugars to acids. The tree grows strong naturally and forms a loose, spreading crown. For production, we recommend using dwarfing rootstocks. It blooms 2-3 days before Golden Delicious Reiders. It starts fruiting early. It yields profusely and annually. The Red Jonaprince Select variety is more stable in fruiting and apple quality/colour than the original variety, i.e. Red Jonaprince.
