Pyrus communis ?Bartlett
Bartlett Pear
Bartlett pear bears green fruits that turn yellow as they ripen. The smooth, tender flesh has a sweet flavor suited to fresh eating and preserving, and established trees can crop heavily.
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.
