Minnesota No. 790 is a large red apple that Daniels Nursery presented as a standout northern selection and promoted in 1950 as "The Northwest's Best Baking Apple." [S1] Daniels also described it as a crisp, attractive dessert apple, so it was presented as both a baking apple and a fresh eating apple. [S1]
In the nursery catalog, it still appeared under its numbered selection name. Daniels said University horticultural experts were expected to give it a formal name soon. [S1] The catalog grouped it with the nursery's featured hardy apples for Minnesota and nearby northern areas. This connects it to the mid century Minnesota fruit selection world, though the page gives no breeder, parentage, or release year. [S1]
The fruit was described as big, rich solid red, and of good quality. [S1] Daniels made its baking quality the main claim, calling it the best baking apple that could be grown in Minnesota after exhaustive tests and comparing it favorably with Rome Beauty for baking. [S1] The catalog also said it was crisp and attractive for dessert use and an excellent winter keeper, showing it was meant for both use and storage. [S1]
For the tree, the evidence is brief. Daniels called it a regular bearer of good quality. [S1] The page gives no further detail on vigor, growth habit, disease, or management.
Its cold climate importance is implied rather than stated directly. Daniels grouped it with apples the nursery considered best for Minnesota and nearby northern districts, but the page does not assign a hardiness zone or give a specific winter survival claim for Minnesota No. 790 itself. [S1]
