This tree is also known for its early fruit production, typically bearing fruit within two to three years after planting.
Fruit: The fruits of the Galaxy Gala are medium-sized with a striking bright red skin that is smooth and glossy. The flesh is yellowish, firm, and very sweet, making it exceptionally popular in both fresh markets and culinary uses. The apples have a very pleasant aroma, which enhances their appeal.
Harvest: Harvest typically occurs from early to mid-September. Galaxy Gala apples are known for their consistent and heavy yields, which is a significant advantage for commercial operations.
Pollination: This variety benefits from cross-pollination. Suitable pollinators include Fuji, Jonathan, and McIntosh apple varieties, which help enhance fruit set and overall productivity.
Spacing: Recommended spacing is 3 meters between trees, ideal for maximizing space in commercial orchards. Trees typically reach a height of about 3 to 4 meters, suitable for various training and pruning methods.
Good to know: Galaxy Gala apples have a relatively long shelf life, which can be extended further with proper storage, making them a valuable variety for both local and export markets. The trees are also noted for their adaptability to different climates and soils, as well as their resistance to scab and mildew.

MM 9 (Dwarf)
M 9 is a dwarf rootstock suitable for high-density planting. It is resistant to the crown rot disease and moderately sensitive to the fire blight and wooly aphid. It is resistant to the illness of the tree tree and mildly susceptible to the blight of flames and wooly aphid. Throughout cultivation, it requires support systems. It should not be grafted on spur-type varieties such as Scarlett Spur, Redchief and Starkspur Golden. For the field, it should be recommended without limiting watering. It is moderately resistant to calcareous and heavy-textured soils. High crop quality, early fruit bearing and elevated efficiency out of a unit region within a brief span of moment are the most advantageous features M 9 offers to the plants.
MM 106 (Middle size)
It is a semi-dwarf rootstock, resistant to wooly aphid and is highly sensitive to disease of crown rot. For heavy-textured and argillaceous soils, it should certainly not be suggested. It has a closer and heavier root structure than rootstocks M9 and M26. Although it is more resistant to the climate than rootstocks M9 and MM 26, it should be chosen for frequent watering plants.For the gardens where MM 106 is grown, support devices are not needed. Within three or four years after planting, it becomes commercially profitable.
MM 111 (Large)
It is a semi-dwarf rootstock bigger than M106 and smaller than standard seedling rootstock. It is resistant to the illness of crown rot, wooly aphid and heavy-textured, argillaceous, calcareous plants with a pH scale above 7. Depending on the circumstances of care, it becomes commercially profitable within four or five years. When early flowering is desired, M 9 may be recommended as the rootstock between the system in some cases. When grafted on spur form and low strength varieties, it provides stronger outcomes.
