Owner's comments
This tree is blooming twice. Very light fruit development. Still a little younger for the rootstock that is most likely on this tree. Gala is a late bloomer which is not ideal for Austin.Season records for this tree

Closest of far corner Galas. Best scaffold balance. Dense branching. Can't make up its mind if its blooming late April or late May.
