I planted a Gala apple seed r from the apple I was eating.. Last spring.. The tree is almost 3 feet tall now ..Outside.. Wont be true but will be fun to watch......

Your not too far north.. Those grow better there than they do in Penna.

Oh sweet!! I love Gala apples.. and peaches!! What did you mean your apple tree won't be true? It won't produce apples?? Why not?? What other fruit trees could I consider?? Where is a good resource.. to buy them from?? How exciting!! Yay!

I meant they would cheat on you >............

What that means......They will not be the exact apple you would get from the Original Gala tree if you bought it ........

I am zone 5 and upper Ohio is zone 5 .. What town are you in?

YOu can purchase all of those apples and peaches for zone 5.. Do you have a nursery near?

I have apple trees but guess their too late.Meaning winter apples are late apples.

You can do it .

hahaha.. cheat on me..

Hmm.. so it wouldn't be the same kind of Gala apple? Is that because you planted it from a seed? If I buy a Gala apple tree, will I get apples like the ones I buy now?? This is very confusing..

I am near Cambridge.. in Guernsey county. And I am not sure if I have a nursery near here that deals in trees or not.. I suppose I should do some checking.. when is the best time to buy/plant fruit trees??

Gala Apples, Peaches.. is there anything else that would do well here?

i looked up Cambridge......Your closer to West Virginia.

Your about the same as us.. You can grow grapes real well.....Blueberrys, stawberrys, pears ,apples , apricots maybe.. Mine always freeze..

i have a Musser Nursery catalog ......here in Penna.. They will send you one if you ask.. Just type in Mussers int the google.

I will check my book 2 maro and tell you more.

They are a good one.

No catalog

Order on line........
Probably saves money that way.

Hmm.. I probably wouldn't order fruit trees thru the mail either.. IF I can help it at all. I will just have to see what is available locally.. or close anyway. lol I know of one place that I have never been to.. I don't know if they offer fruit trees or not.. and even if they do, they may not have what I am looking for.. I may HAVE to do the mail order thing I guess after considering what I have around here to work with.

If you want some Gala apple trees from seeds, get seeds of two different varieties; one as a rootstock & one as a scion. Grow both seedlings & get a bud from the scion & graft it onto the rootstock. Hopefully, the bud will grow. After a couple years of training, you'll have a Gala apple tree.Good Growing!!

My backyard's has so many trees, I can't plant anymore or they'll shade my garden.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

P.S. My backyard is of medium size-I don't live in a subdivision.

I live about a quarter mile from the city limits of Merced. I have enough firewood to last a year. I can stay warm since I'm overweight, my boby will use up fat to keep me warm.I better lose some weight.

LOL @ Dodge.. I need firewood!! That is our sole source of heat!!

I have been looking at Gala apple trees on a couple different sites and it says to pollinate with a Golden Delicious.. I don't really WANT a Golden Delicious.. =( Is that my only option.

I haven't researched the Peach trees yet.. I figure I need to get a good grasp on the Apple trees first.. and I came up with the idea to do Blackberry bushes too.. hehe.. but that is a different thread!
