GALMA

Genetic potential for summer yields

The 'Galma' apple variety by the 'Crimean Fruit Company' is a specialized summer cultivar designed for early-season commercial production. The key feature of this variety lies in the balanced combination of tree compactness and high cropping intensity.

Morphology and vegetative parameters

The medium-vigorous 'Galma' tree ensures optimal crown access for agrotechnical operations, which is critical in intensive orchard layouts. Due to its moderate growth force, the plant's energy is redirected primarily towards generative buds rather than excessive vegetative development.

Biological protection and resistance

The engineering approach of the 'Crimean Fruit Company' breeders has imbued this variety with a high level of natural immunity to scab. In summer conditions, where humidity and temperature often trigger pathogen outbreaks, this genetic resistance allows for a significant reduction in fungicide applications. Powdery mildew is also not a critical risk factor, simplifying the overall orchard protection strategy.

Fruit marketability

• Fruit weight: 150–200 grams — the optimal retail standard.
• Coloration: an intense, diffused red blush covering a significant portion of the surface, providing high visual appeal for consumers.
• Storage life: 1–2 months. Given its summer harvest timing, this is an excellent indicator that allows for logistical handling without sacrificing fruit quality.

'Galma' is the choice for growers seeking stability in the early market segment, focusing on the synergy of high disease resistance and predictable yields of medium-sized fruits.
