Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Gala apple tree originating as a limb mutation of the Malus sylvestris variety of Gala, ‘McKenzie’ cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,637). This new variety is unique from its parent and other Gala cultivars because the fruit ripens 5 weeks later than the parent and Gala cultivars. The new variety is firmer than other Gala cultivars, averaging 18 to 23 pounds pressure at maturity.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree which originated as a branch mutation of ‘Tenroy cultivar’ Royal Gala® apple tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121), characterized by larger fruit with thicker stem and later bloom time as compared to the parent.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree, ‘McLaughlin Gala,’ originating as a limb mutation of the Malus domestica variety of ‘Kidds D-8’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,637). This new variety is unique from its parent because it develops and finishes fruit color to a 100% clear yellow with no red striping or blush. The new variety matures 4 to 6 days before its parent.

Abstract: A new and distinct strain of apple, designated Weaver cultivar, originated as a limb sport on a ‘Fulford Gala’ tree. The fruit are 1.5 to 2.5 cm larger than parent tree fruit, which will greatly improve fresh fruit packout over the existing ‘Gala’ strains. The tree is easier to manage than other ‘Gala’ strains, as tree height, trunk diameter and terminal shoot length are reduced.

Abstract: A new apple variety distinguished by very high level of fruit over color, with solid flush and stripes and maturing earlier than comparator Gala selections.

Abstract: ‘Jugala’ is a Gala-type apple characterized by its early harvest date as compared to other known Gala varieties.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree, Malus domestica, denominated Burnett Cultivar, which is similar to Obrogala Cultivar (also known as ‘Ultrared Gala’, U.S. Plant Pat. No. 8,621) but which has an earlier harvest maturity date, less sugar at harvest, and less starch at harvest than ‘Ultrared Gala’.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of apple tree named is provided that is distinguished by the following combination of characteristics (in comparison to `Obrogala`): (1) fruit that are significantly larger and have a deeper and wider cavity, larger basin, and longer and thicker stem; (2) intense red fruit coloration that covers approximately 90-100% of the fruit surface; (3) leaves having a bronze appearance that is most evident in young leaves; (4) leaves that are smaller, have fewer and less significant marginal undulations and thus appear flatter, have margins with finer and sharper serrations, and leaf tips that are more pointed and end less abruptly; (5) shorter leaf petioles; (6) slightly less vigor; and (7) thinner branches that tend to terminate sooner, and have a smaller internodal length.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Gala-type apple tree is provided which originated as a partial tree mutation of the `Tenroy` cultivar (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,121) growing at Cleveland, Tenn. The new cultivar forms considerably larger fruit that ripens earlier than that of the `Tenroy` cultivar. It also blooms earlier than the `Tenroy` cultivar. The five swollen areas or bumps at the calyx end of the fruit tend to be more pronounced than those of the `Tenroy` cultivar. The tips of the current year's growth tend to be thicker than those of the `Tenroy` cultivar. The leaves tend to be generally smaller and more rigid than those of the `Tenroy` cultivar. Also, the leaf stems tend to be shorter than those of the `Tenroy` cultivar. The fruit is flavorfully mild and of good quality similar to that of the `Tenroy` cultivar.
