Virginia Greening

Anyone here grow the Virginia Greening apple? Would love to know more about it. Thanks.

I guess nobody is! Did you learn anything elsewhere?

(From the web, it appears to be a tough sweet keeping appleā€¦but probably not very flavorful? Perhaps a good apple for Southern growers that need an easy care tree?)

You might contact Vintage Virginia Apples.

No, they donā€™t list that one.
(I mostly was curious if this is a heirloom or something recently namedā€¦ok, found it described by OrangePippin.)
I have Northwest Greening, Green Pippin, Tolman, white winter pearmain, etcā€¦so not like I need another apple. Iā€™m about to ā€˜cancelā€™ Granny Smith. Just curious if anyone had reports on ā€œVirginia Greeningā€.

In 2015 Steve Kelly, Big Stone Gap, Va lists Va Greening scions for sale. Not sure of his current status, heard of health problems a few years ago.
