Sweet Sixteen Apple Tree

Remarkable Flavor and Crunch

(4 customer reviews)

One of the best for fresh-off-the-tree eating, Sweet Sixteen is super sweet with a richly complex flavor—similar to vanilla with just a hint of molasses and fine bourbon. A taste treat like no other! Extra hardy and long-lived even in harsh conditions. Ripens mid Sept. Zones 3-6.

Fantastic
Reviewed By: Terryw (Great Falls, Montana)
These are a wonderful eating apple. Not the best keepers I've ever seen, but do ok in the fridge and can and freeze well. Production has been hit and miss due to weather but this last year two trees produced 450 POUNDS of apples! Unbelievable!
