  Crisp and juicy, but small fruits. Picked the last few mid/late Oct. That first bite will amaze, a taste of cherry and cotton candy, with delectable aroma. The most ambrosial apple in the orchard.

  Maybe the apple I bought was mis-identified, but I thought it was very similar to a McIntosh in flavor and texture.

  One of my favorite. Very complex, sweet flavor. Texture is great similar to MacIntosh.

  2 trees on G30 planted Spring 2014 have grown from 3 feet to 6 feet this year.

  Sweet Sixteen's rich, complex sweet flavor -including hints of cherry candy and raw sugar... really!- coupled with its lovely yellow crisp flesh make this one of the most eye opening, fantastic apple eating experiences.

  Sweet sixteen is an excellent mid-season apple. The fruits are medium to large and crisp. They are extremely sweet with just a bit of zing. They have an anise flavor that makes for a unique apple tasting experience. A great apple for the North as they are hardy trees.
