Wiki Draft

Minnesota #447 is a standard apple listed as highly recommended for most of the Prairie Provinces in Edible Apples in Prairie Canada. The entry classifies it as a dessert apple and marks it as long keeping, suggesting it was valued for eating quality and storage, not just for short season use. [S1]

The strongest hardiness evidence is the prairie rating H2-3, which places it between moderately hardy and borderline hardy in that source's legend. [S1] The same entry gives no breeder, parentage, place of origin, or release date, so its fuller history is unclear from the currently cited source. [S1]

Because the source is a recommendation list rather than a narrative profile, the clearest supported picture is practical: Minnesota #447 was considered good enough for broad prairie recommendation, notable for dessert use, and known as a keeper. [S1]
