Interesting

The colour covers almost the entire surface of the fruit and is very intense. It retains the typical character of the cultivar Gala thanks to very prominent lenticels and the presence of the characteristic silvery film on the skin. The proportion of red overcolour is very high even in areas where fruit usually colours poorly, as well as inside the tree canopy. Colour development begins very early, already in mid July. Gala ‘Fendeca’ (s) is distinguished by excellent colour stability. No reverse reversion is observed, which commonly occurs in the cultivar Gala.
