Why Buy This Tree?
Our improved Gala selections (Foxtrot, RedRidge™, Temptation) offer enhanced color and earlier ripening than standard Gala. Farm-grown at our Colbert nursery and delivered locally throughout Washington, these trees are pre-adapted to Pacific Northwest conditions. The combination of early harvest timing, excellent eating quality, and strong market demand makes Gala varieties essential for commercial orchards and u-pick operations.
