Gala apples are the second most popular apple in the US (after Red Delicious). Gala apples are red with vertical stripes and have a thin skin. They are loved for their sweetness and firm, crisp texture. They were created in the 1930s when J.H. Kidd crossed a Golden Delicious and Kidd’s Orange Red in New Zealand. They ripen in Maine during mid September.

Hi Greg, My aunt in GA likes “sweet” apples. What would you suggest I get for her from Sweetsers?
Thanks!
Hi Martha, we would recommend the Macoun, McIntosh or Liberty apples that we have now. Thanks!
