ℹ The Tilton Apricot Tree (Prunus armeniaca 'Tilton') has some bragging rights, as it is one of the best apricot trees to exist! Self pollinating with extremely flavorful fruit, beautiful foliage, and adaptability, it is sure to win your heart over. Freestone, large delicious fruits are produced in abundance. The Tilton apricot tree is a vigorous, productive tree. Other than the delectable apricots, the Tilton Apricot Tree offers an amazing trait--it's frost resistant. This is a fit tree for climates prone to late spring frosts. Not only is it resistant to late frosts, but it is very adaptable to different soil types. The Tilton Apricot Tree blooms in spring with delicate pink, fragrant flowers that are a tempting lure to pollinators. You could expect a visit from butterflies to hummingbirds. The Tilton Apricots are uniquely heart-shaped with a "suture" line that trails halfway around the fruit. The color is gorgeous, being light golden with hints of rosy blush. The color is guaranteed to stand out against the luscious, emerald foliage. Owning your own Tilton Apricot Tree is a win-win! Apricots aren't the best when it comes to shipping, so having the ability to pick from your very own yard is special. Save your money by skipping a trip to the produce store! Who doesn't prefer fresh and homegrown fruit, anyway?
