The Royal Gala apple strain is a globally renowned cultivar known for its distinctive vibrant red skin color, sweet and slightly tart flavor profile, and crisp, juicy texture. Developed in New Zealand as a cross between the Gala and Kidd’s Orange Red varieties, the Royal Gala exhibits a medium to large fruit size with a unique oblong-conical shape. Its creamy white flesh, combined with its late summer/early fall harvest season and medium to long storage potential, makes this versatile strain suitable for both fresh consumption and commercial use. The Royal Gala’s disease resistance and adaptability to various growing zones contribute to its popularity among growers and consumers worldwide.
