Prunus armeniaca 'Tilton'
Tilton apricot was a chance seedling discovered by J.E. Tilton in 1885 - an exciting breakthrough because unlike other apricots of the time, Tilton is very hardy and unbothered by stormy weather or late frosts. The Tilton apricot fruit itself is heart-shaped and golden-yellow with sweet, fine textured flesh and a strong, sweet/tart apricot flavor. Each year Tilton blooms with tight, cheerful, clusters of pink-white flowers, inviting spring to your home orchard.
While Tilton is considered a canning or drying apricot (dried apricots were big business in 1885 California), its strong flavor makes for tasty fresh eating fruit as well. Requires 600-700 chill hours to reliably bloom and set fruit.
