Owner's comments
This tree was planted the same year as my Granny Smith. The Granny Smith has been producing for about 3 years and this will be the first year for my Sweet Sixteen. Most likely had to do with lack of water for difference in production. I use mulch and compost for feeding and weeding. My ph runs about 7.5. Am experimenting with acidifying the water to see if this helps. Will report back on taste when I get my first one, can't wait.Season records for this tree
