Galarina Apple
First crossed at the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique in Angers, France in 1985 as a disease resistant offspring of the Gala Apple. Its parents, the Kidd D-8 and Florina display remarkable resistance to many varieties of apple ailments. It is very resistant against Scab, Fireblight, Powdery Mildew, and Apple Cedar Rust. The apple is similar to Gala in both taste and appearance though it keeps its flavor in storage longer. The Gala parentage gives this apple a slightly orange blush color and a balanced sweetness. The apples are persistent and linger on the tree for many months post harvest and make great food for wildlife. Ships Spring 2024
