Apple blossoms are fragrant. The majority of apple tree (Malus) blossoms begin as pink buds and bloom as white flowers. A handful of cultivars, however, have flowers that retain some or all of their pink hues past the bud stage.All apple trees perform best when they receive full sun exposure and have well-drained soil with a pH level of 5 to 7.ala. The apple tree cultivar Gala is from New Zealand and produces light-pink flowers that turn into orange and red fruits. A cross between Kidd's Orange Red and Golden Delicious, Gala has rich and flavorful apples that are candidates for juicing.
