They are fairly biennial and quite vigorous - I mostly juice them as they don't keep well and I find them too sweet for my liking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00909311830959776431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-6599914770659186982018-10-11T21:39:53.683-04:002018-10-11T21:39:53.683-04:00The speed with which these comments appeared shows...The speed with which these comments appeared shows how passionate people are about this distinctive apple!<br /><br />Plenty more comments in the <a href="http://adamapples.blogspot.com/2011/10/sweet-sixteen-16-apple.html" rel="nofollow">2011 review</a>, too.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-45609926158819992582018-10-11T08:37:18.727-04:002018-10-11T08:37:18.727-04:00Along with Sweet 16 I also planted Snow Sweet and ...Along with Sweet 16 I also planted Snow Sweet and Zestar because of their being parents of the Honeycrisp and Sweetango respectfully. Zestar is a early apple with short season of crispness but excellent flavor I found.

Like the Topaz I received my first fruit this year.<br /><br />The cherry flavour was present though not as sweet as I would have expected. I believe impatience got the better of me - next year I'm waiting longer into October. Hopefully I'll have more than 2 apples to sample next time.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01904055462102089711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-55449825764542632062018-10-10T09:20:04.253-04:002018-10-10T09:20:04.253-04:00With the addition of 5 of these Sweet 16 apple tre...With the addition of 5 of these Sweet 16 apple trees to my small one acre orchard I’m definitely hoping to see if this cherry lifesaver flavor comes thru.

It's almost always intense, unless over ripe.SkillCulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492656746164230098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-91651323070565999592018-10-09T21:23:00.428-04:002018-10-09T21:23:00.428-04:00You may just need to visit the Midwest (Minnesota ...You may just need to visit the Midwest (Minnesota in particular) to get Sweet Sixteen's flavor as intended.
