Wrights Seedling is a Minnesota apple described in N. E. Hansen's 1902 bulletin A Study of Northwestern Apples. Hansen gives its origin as Minnesota and links it to the original Shaw planting made about 1852 at Minnesota City, Minnesota. J. S. Harris later exhibited it at the Minnesota State Fair in 1898. [S1]
The fruit is medium sized, oblong conic, and sharply tapering. The skin is yellow, with many minute, obscure white dots. The cavity is regular and russeted. The stem is short. The basin is very narrow, flat, and wrinkled, with a closed calyx. [S1]
The flesh is white, firm, and subacid, with some crabby astringency. Hansen lists it for culinary use rather than dessert quality. Its season is fall. [S1]
Pomological notes place Wrights Seedling among apples with a funnel-shaped tube, marginal stamens, a flat basin, and an open core. [S1]
No direct hardiness zone is stated. Its northern fruit relevance comes from its Minnesota origin, its inclusion in a northwestern apple bulletin, and its link to a mid-19th-century Minnesota City planting. [S1]
The original tree was already dead when Hansen's account was published. The available source does not give parentage, breeder, release date, disease behavior, storage duration beyond fall season, or later breeding use. [S1]
