Sweet 16 is a high-quality dessert apple developed by the University of Minnesota in 1978 from a Northern Spy x Malinda cross, for cold climates.

Hardy to USDA Zone 3-7, vigorous and productive. Excellent resistance to fire blight and scab.

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil; pollinate with mid-bloom apples. Medium-large red-striped fruit with crisp, juicy flesh and unique sweet flavor with cherry-vanilla notes.

Good storage — lasts 1-2 months in cool conditions.
