Plant Description
Ripens in late September to early October. Sweet Sixteen is resistant to fire blight and is another very cold hardy variety from Minnesota. Reportedly used by a champion pie baker with a history of blue ribbon winning pies as her secret ingredient. Apple when baked has a hint of vanilla flavor. Sorry bambi but a few of these are going to come up missing off your trees in the fall.
