An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.
Sweet Sixteen is superb eaten straight off the tree. It's delightfully complex combination of sweet, nutty, and spicy flavours have given rise to all sorts of comparisons. John Bunker of Fedco Nursery fame nailed it as good as any when he said it tastes like Cherry Life Savers! Sweet Sixteen's crisp, cream-coloured, aromatic flesh will remind you of its Frostbite parent, while the large size and red striped appearance was imparted by its other parent - the venerable Northern Spy. Like the Spy it also ranks highly as a pie and sauce apple with respectable storage. Another hardy, dependable variety from the University of Minnesota showing some scab and fireblight resistance.

This was the first time I have ordered from wiffletree and I’m so impressed. All the fruit trees and bushes I ordered were delivered on time, well packaged, the trees and bushes looked healthy. They came with fantastic planting instructions and information. I have planted them and all are alive, leafing out and thriving beautifully. I am so happy with my Wiffletree order and will be purchasing from them in the future as I expand my home orchard/ food forest.
Also one of the best catalogs I have seen.
Thank you!

Excellent! All trees arrived bare rooted, and are all sending out lots of leaves. Extremely happy with the quality of plants we have received over the years from Whiffletree.
