Sweet Sixteen is a standard apple cultivar, listed as ST (standard), with fruit about 8 cm across; ST denotes apples of 5 cm or more.[S1]
Its parentage is given as Minn. 447 (open-pollinated Malinda) crossed with Northern Spy.[S1] Fruit is described as dark red, fully colored with stripes and solid wash, and the eating quality is very sweet, crisp, juicy, and aromatic. The cultivar is suitable for both dessert use and cooking, and is reported to keep well from September through December.[S1]
The entry cites "Apples for Minnesota" by Hoover and Munson and references a Minnesota test code, but the packet provides two different values for that test number.[S1]
