Gala Supreme Apples

Gala Supreme are medium to large-sized apples.

They have tough, chewy yellow skin covered with red stripes. The skin can be russeted and have large lenticels on it. When the apples are fully mature, the skin can get greasy.

Though the apples have short stems, they hang well on the tree and few drop off.

Inside, they have firm, coarse, somewhat juicy flesh.

When fully mature, they have a somewhat sweet flavour, though they are occasionally bland and starchy.

Mid autumn harvest (late September, early October)

No direct relation to other apples named Gala.

Cooking Tips

Gala Supreme Apples are deemed better for commercial processing use because of their skin.

Storage Hints

Gala Supreme Apples will store for up to 3 months in the right conditions.

History Notes

Gala Supreme Apples were developed from a chance seedling of Red Delicious apples.
