First time to bear fruit after four years in a pot and boy its loaded. The fruit is small to medium size because it is a cross between a regular apple and a crab apple. It's got a pink flesh with a balanced flavor of sweetness and acidity. The tree is healthy, and a prolific bearer as evidenced by the image i have uploaded from my tree, pest free ATM. It's ornamental in itself because of the reddish leaves and stems Just nice for kids' lunch box. There is a similar apple released recently called Red Love apple bred from Switzerland by Markus Kobelt. Mine is discovered by Bob Magnus of Woodbridge Nursery growing in Huonville, Tassie. Growing as a 'Y' espalier ATM in my garden.

Comments: - This variety i think is too high chill for my area. You can see the buds didn't really open vrey well this year and there was no additional height from last year. Cill issues seem to effect the top of the plant more. I'm grafting on lwer chill varieties and will try misting and shading during winter to get more chill.

Dwarf Apple - Royal Gala (Grafted) ^10/10

Comments: -

I bought the book "Growing Apples in the Tropics" by Kevin Hauser from Kufflel Creek Nursery where he advocates that it is possible to obtain decent apple crops from varieties that have chill hours above those accepted as low chill varieties and that he sells his trees into the warmer areas of Africa.

So my Dwarf Royal Gala and Granny Smith are going to be grown using his methods. Already my Anna and Tropic sweet are flowering using his methods. Not enough yet for pollination but we are still 2 weeks from spring!

Jan 2017: Royal Gala must be self fertile to some degree as the tree is setting fruit where ever it flowers.There is not anything else in flower in the garden and being iin a sub tropic cl imate I don't expect that there would be anyone else close by trying the same thing. Anyhow it will be interesting to see what happens.

Dec 2017 A small crop of quite nice apples coming on. It was late coming into flower but coincided with the Granny Smith so it set a lot fo fruit that I have had to thin heavily..
