(Semi-Dwarf) ‘Tilton’ has a storied history as one of the best home garden Apricots for good reason…it is easy to grow, very productive and produces unforgettable fruit that will have you waiting for the first one off the tree each early to mid-August! While ‘Tilton’ is spectacular fresh off the tree, canned or used in baking, it is the best Apricot for drying, retaining its great color and sweet taste. Fresh off the tree the fruit is medium sized with bright golden yellow flesh and a dark red blush on the skin and, because it is freestone, it’s easy to enjoy its delicious, aromatic and sweet flavor. ‘Tilton’ is very productive and is self-fruitful as well an excellent pollinator for other Apricots that flower and fruit at a similar time. Plant it full sun and higher ground to avoid those spring frosts that can damage its great late April flower show and fruit set.
