Tilton Apricot Tree

Plant Tilton Apricot Tree in a location that receives full sun and has well-draining soil. Choose a site with good air circulation and enough space for the tree’s mature size. Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball, position the tree so the root flare sits at soil level, then backfill and gently firm the soil. Water deeply after planting and continue regular watering during the first growing season to establish a strong root system.

Water regularly during the first year, then provide deep watering during dry periods once established. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and fruit production. Prune during dormancy to maintain structure, remove crossing branches, and encourage airflow. Thin developing fruit if needed to improve fruit size and prevent branch stress, and monitor for pests or disease throughout the season.
