Fenplus gala is a strong choice for Gala varieties at altitudes between 7,000 to 8,500 feet. This rootstock is known for promoting early production, consistent fruit quality, and resistance to replant diseases. To ensure larger size and brighter color for Gala apples, follow these tips: Cultivation Tips for Better Fruit Size and Color 1. Planting Density: Use a high-density system (3x10 feet or similar) to optimize light exposure for better color development. 2. Canopy Management: Regular pruning and training to allow light penetration. Use techniques like summer pruning to remove excess shading foliage. 3. Nutrient Management: Ensure proper fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients like boron and zinc. Avoid over-fertilization with nitrogen, as it can lead to excessive vegetative growth, impacting fruit color. 4. Irrigation: Ensure consistent watering during fruit development, especially during the critical cell division phase in early fruit growth. 5. Thinning: Thin fruitlets early in the season to avoid overcrowding. Maintain a spacing of 6-8 inches between fruits on branches. 6. Reflective Mulches: Use white or reflective mulch beneath the trees to increase light reflection, improving color and uniformity. 7. Crop Protection: Protect the orchard from diseases like scab and powdery mildew and pests like codling moth using integrated pest management (IPM). 8. Gala Varieties Suitable for High Altitudes:
