Bartlett Pear Tree
Pyrus x
The #1 pear worldwide! Long-standing favorite of orchard growers and fruit gardeners alike.
Bartlett produces beautiful, large, richly flavored pears with golden-yellow color, blushed with red. Grows 30 to 40 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide. The pears are excellent for canning or fresh eating and ship well. This young, heavy, consistent bearer, ripens in summer. Plant with another variety for best results.
Produce some fruit without cross-pollination, but set heavier, more reliable crops with cross-pollination. Experts recommend planting one within 50 feet for optimum pollination.
