Pyrus communis 'Sensation Red Bartlett'

Sensation Red Bartlett Pear

Sensation Red Bartlett pear produces Bartlett-type fruit with a red-blushed skin. The smooth, sweet flesh makes it useful for fresh eating, while the colored crop adds interest to a home orchard.

Tree size depends on rootstock, pruning, and training. Seasonal ripening dates also vary with the local climate. A compatible pear flowering nearby can improve cropping.

Plant in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and water during establishment and fruit development. Plan the spacing around the rootstock and intended training system.
