I had the chance to sample a couple apples that we have at camp - but those I tasted weren't from our camp trees. At least I know what to expect from our trees when they do produce. These were all fresh picked from the orchard we visited.
Priscilla - Crisp, crunchy, juicy. A little more sweet than tart. Good eater.
Prairie Spy - Harder apple, crisp & crunchy, very juicy, more on the tart side. A good eater.
Dayton - Another crisp & crunchy apple. Juicy, sweet & tart balance. Good eater.
I also tried a Sweet 16. We don't have this at camp, but from what I've read on here and seen in Prof. Kent's video clip, it's a very different taste for an apple. I noticed the "cherry candy" taste right away. One thing I noticed - and it was evident - the further I ate down toward the blossom end of the apple, the sweeter and stronger the "cherry" taste was. It was very snappy-crunchy, juicy, a sweeter apple. Very different after-taste.
Just some info for those of you who have any of these apple trees & haven't had them produce yet.
