Variety description

10 August 2026

The Mc Donald Gala variety is not considered an independent breeding variety in the broad sense, being a representative of the extensive Gala family of varieties. Basic plant features correspond to the Gala group, including medium tree vigor, late autumn ripening, and high fruit taste qualities.

A detailed agrotechnical description, including data on disease resistance or precise harvest dates, is absent. The variety is represented primarily in registers of plant variety rights and is not a standardized variety for mass horticulture.
