(Malaga cltv.) Gale Gala is the “one-pick” Gala strain. A whole tree sport of Royal Gala, this outstanding strain has all the winning characteristics of its parent but has deeper red stripes and a fuller red color.

Red Jonaprince, Van Well Nursery
(Red Jonagold) Here’s the red Jonagold that delivers “one-pick” color. The deep red hue shows on all the apples, even shaded fruit, at the same time and in many cases the coloring comes earlier than on other strains of Jonagold. Red Jonaprince has the large size and excellent flavor of its parent, Jonagold Prince, plus better flavor and storage keeping qualities. USPP#11,112.

The dark-red hue remains vibrant even when stored for a long period of time. The fruit is large and has excellent shape. USPP#19,766.

(Burchinal cltv.) Adams Apple is just the ticket for fruit growers who produce apples in areas where getting good color is a problem. This new introduction is red from petal fall to picking.

Redfield® Red Braeburn, Van Well Nursery
(Mahana cltv.) A bright, cherry-red finish sets this Braeburn sport apart from other strains. You can literally see the difference on the tree! A full blush and good typey shape enhances the eye appeal of this apple. Redfield Red Braeburn comes from New Zealand, where they know a thing or two about the Braeburn variety. This selection, a Van Well Nursery exclusive introduction, has all the juicy, sweet-tart flavor of other Braeburn strains, but colors better. USPP#17,268.
