About the Tilton
:
The Tilton apricot is the leading variety
for freezing, drying, and canning. Tilton
apricots are a unique looking apricot and
are one of the most flavorful of all
apricots. Their appearance is noted by
having a slightly flatter shape with a
"suture" line that goes halfway around the
fruit. This longtime favorite is tender and
juicy with a sweet-tart flavor. It has
medium sized fruit that is heart shaped.
It has a light orange skin. The flesh is
firm and flavorful and it has a golden color
with a red blush. A vigorous tree which
bears heavy crops and is resistant to late
frosts. One of the earliest ripening fruits.
Blooms very early and ripens late June to
early July.

Please note:
Your region's climate determines the type of
fruit trees and fruit that will grow
successfully. The climate must be compatible
with the growing requirements of the
selected fruit tree. Some varieties will
even prevail in the harsher Upper Midwest
climates. Most fruit trees require between
130 - 150 frost-free days. If you are unsure
as to how many frost-free days your climate
has, please contact your local county
extension office |
