The most widely cultivated and best known pear, 'Bartlett', produces large yellow, blushed pears in late summer that are prized for their juicy, sweet, melting flesh.
Pears are deciduous fruit trees that originate from Europe and Asia. They are medium-sized, have upright, pyramidal habits and thrive in most temperate regions. In spring, they produce clusters of five-petaled, white flowers that are fragrant and attract bees in droves. The prolific pears of ‘Bartlett’ mature in by late summer. This cultivar sets more fruit if others are nearby for cross-pollination.

For live plants, we can't send them to Alaska and Hawaii. If the order has already been placed, we will cancel it.

Happy Gardening!
