The Dwarf Tilton Apricot Tree is a classic, time-tested variety valued for its medium to large golden-orange fruit with a firm texture and rich, tangy-sweet flavor. Tilton apricots are especially prized for cooking, baking, drying, and preserving, while also being enjoyable fresh when fully ripe. The fruit is freestone, making it easy to process for home use. This dwarf tree has a compact growth habit, making it ideal for home orchards, patios, and smaller garden spaces. In early spring, it produces abundant white to pale pink blossoms that attract pollinators and develop into reliable crops that typically ripen in mid to late summer.
Mature Height: 8–10 feet
Spacing: 8–10 feet apart
