malus domestica ‘sweet sixteen’

Sweet Sixteen Apple

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.
