Minnesota No. 1007 was a numbered apple selection from the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm. In 1937, it was described as a very promising late winter apple for northern planting regions. The Fruit Growers Service catalog listed it in its hardy apple section and cited Prof. W. H. Alderman of the University of Minnesota Division of Horticulture as the source of the description. [S1]
The source does not give its parentage or release year. It presents Minnesota No. 1007 mainly as a promising numbered selection, not as a named commercial cultivar. Nursery stock was quite limited, and buyers were advised to reserve trees early. [S1]
The fruit was described as attractively red, high quality, productive, and a good keeper. The catalog said it was much better in quality than Winesap and other apples sold after Christmas. Its main value was as a late winter apple. [S1]
The tree was noted for holding fruit well. The catalog stressed this because hard harvest winds caused heavy drop in some other varieties, including McIntosh. This was presented as a practical orchard advantage. [S1]
Minnesota No. 1007 was expected to become widely planted in home orchards and commercial trade. Its hardiness is not stated by zone. Its place in a northern hardy fruit catalog and its origin at the Minnesota State Fruit Breeding Farm connect it with cold region apple breeding in Minnesota and the upper Mississippi Valley. [S1]
The available source gives no direct parentage, species detail beyond apple context, disease notes, or later breeding use. The strongest evidence is the 1937 nursery catalog description and its cited University of Minnesota authority. [S1]
