Key Virginia Varieties
Cameo
A modern sweet variety, reminiscent of Red Delicious.
Empire
One of the best McIntosh-style apples, with a good sweet vinous flavor, and easy to grow.
Fuji
Developed in Japan, but an all-American cross of Red Delicious and Ralls Janet. A very attractive modern apple, crisp, sweet-flavored, and keeps well.
Gala
One of the most widely-grown apple varieties, with a sweet pleasant flavour, and good keeping qualities.
Ginger Gold
An attractive yellow apple from Virginia
Golden Delicious
Undoubtedly one of the most important apple varieties of the 20th century, both as a commercial variety in its own right, and as breeding stock for many other varieties. Very good flavor when picked from Virginia trees.
Granny Smith
The most instantly-recognized of all apples, and perhaps Australia's most famous export.
Honeycrisp
Sometimes marketed as Honey Crisp, this is a crisp, and predominantly sweet, modern variety from the USA. It was developed by the University of Minnesota specifically for growers in cold climates, and is one of the most cold-hardy of apple varieties.
Jonagold
A very popular commercial variety, with a good flavor. Inherits many of the good qualities of its parents Jonathan and Golden Delicious.
Jonathan
A classic American variety, and widely regarded as one of the best flavored with a good sweet/sharp balance. A precocious and productive tree in US apple-growing regions.
Nittany
Crisp, juicy yellow flesh tart apple, 3 to 3.25 inches in diameter. About 50 to 90% of the surface is covered with a dull red color. Shape is truncate to conical. Good eaten fresh but also good choice for a cooking apple as it holds its shape when cooked.
Pink Lady®
One of the best-known modern apples.
Red Delicious
One of the most famous American apple varieties, a sport of Delicious, known for its bright red color.
Rome Beauty
An extremely attractive and productive red cooking apple, widely-grown in North America.
Stayman
An old American dual-purpose apple variety, popular in Virginia. Descended from Winesap, and in most respects an even better apple.
Winesap
Often known as Virginia Winesap, a tart small apple, and like many US heirloom varieties, keeps well in store.
York Imperial
Good cooking/baking apple and excellent keeper.
