Tolerant of fire blight. A Geneva introduction. On Geneva 16 and G.30 for 2002. On Geneva 16, Malling 9, and M.7 for 2002. Size, time of maturity, and fruit flavor are all the same as the original Gala.
Color begins with striping, that fills in to a brilliant red throughout the tree. .
Another new Gala with very early coloring. A Toko X Fuji hybrid from Japan. The flavor and texture are close to Fuji but 5 weeks earlier. Sweet and spritely with a creamy white flesh and crackling crisp texture. Still not widely tested, Senshu could be a major fall variety for New York, New England and Michigan.
