The Royal Gala is a crisp, firm, bright red or red/orange patterned fruit with a yellow background. Small to medium sized with a thinner skin, this sweet, succulent apple is a cross between a Golden Delicious and Kidd's Orange Red. 'Royal Gala' is a Gala with more than 50% red colouration of the skin: they taste the same! Good pollinators include Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, Fuji, Golden Delicious, McIntosh, Braeburn and Spartan and as well as most crabapples.
