Red Bartlett Pear
Red Bartlett Pear
Red Bartlett pear combines smooth, sweet flesh with richly colored red skin. The aromatic fruits are useful fresh or preserved, and a compatible pollinating pear is needed for reliable production.
Tree size depends on rootstock, pruning, and training. Seasonal ripening dates also vary with the local climate. A compatible pear pollinator is required; the grower gives approximately 800–1,000 chilling hours.
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.
Size
• Height and width depend on rootstock and training; verify the supplied tree’s rootstock before fixing spacing.
