Buckeye Gala Apple Tree
Product Details
Buckeye Gala apple trees produce sweet, juicy apples with a vibrant red and yellow striped skin, perfect for fresh eating and snacking. These trees are known for their early to mid-season harvest and reliable fruit production. Compact and vigorous, MicroStarts' Buckeye Gala fruit trees thrive in full sun and make a great choice for home orchards.
Your Buckeye Gala apple tree is grafted (ensuring true-to-type fruit) and ships in a Jumbo Ellepot - an eco-friendly, ready-to-plant paper sleeve. These trees are not bare root.
Buckeye Gala apples are sweet and crisp with a bright red and yellow striped skin.
Our rootstock is propagated via tissue culture, a clonal process that results in true to type, disease-free plants. These trees have been grown in ellepots to promote healthy root development.

Planting & Care
Your trees will arrive 20–34” tall. Trees shipped in winter are naturally leafless and dormant, ready to burst back to life with fresh growth in spring.
Buckeye Gala apple trees are self-sterile, and need to be paired with other pollinator apple trees to produce fruit (such as Granny Smith, Fuji, or Golden Delicious). See "Recommended Pollinators" for pollinators we carry.
