Virginia is listed as a crabapple or applecrab type with fruit under 5 cm in diameter, marked with code CR. It is associated with Fluke, is described as having fruit rated fair for canning, and is noted as incompatible as a stembuilder. The entry also records high resistance to collar rot infection [S1].
The cultivar is mentioned in Hort Guide references from 1922 and 1952. It may be the same as Virginia Seedless, but this is not certain. The source code FB3 is expanded as most susceptible to fireblight injury and killing. No explicit release year or parentage chain is given [S1].
