This exciting new Gala sport starts coloring a month earlier than its parent, Imperial® Gala. Buckeye® Gala develops well through summer heat and the fruit finishes with a bright, full, rich, red color. Flavor, texture, size and handling qualities remain the same as its renowned parent. The Buckeye® Gala tree is vigorous and upright with a semi-spur habit. Buckeye® can be pollinated by other mid-season blooming varieties, except other Gala sports and Golden Delicious.
