Volga is an apple cultivar entry listed as a cross of Virgin and Anasim, attributed to Hansen with the year 1933 cited in the notes. [S1]
The fruit is described as bright red with deeper red stripes and used as a dessert apple. Flavor comments include a pear-like shape and very pear flavor, but also a note that the apple can be bland; another note says it is very fine, quite hasty, and generally best after frost. [S1]
Hardiness is marked H2, with the legend expanded to moderately hardy. Source shorthand in the entries includes FAL or F&M with Maurer as references, and the year shown is 1933 rather than a clearly stated release date. [S1]
