Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a spontaneous mutant of the Gala variety. The tree is characterized by medium vigor, similar to the Golden Delicious variety, and belongs to type III. Flowering occurs in the mid-term; diploid varieties with a similar flowering period are suitable as pollinators.

The fruits have a caliber of 65–80 mm, with juicy, sweet, and crisp flesh. The coloration is characterized as the most pronounced striped among Gala clones. The variety matures a month earlier than Golden Delicious, is precocious and productive with a low tendency toward biennial bearing, however, it requires fruit thinning.

The variety is sensitive to scab and European canker. It is recommended for commercial production, especially in warm climates and lowland areas where obtaining intense fruit coloration is difficult.
