About the
Bartlett :
The Bartlett Pear tree produces a pear
that is bright yellow. It is the nations
leading pear variety. They tend to bear
fruit for up to 50 to 75 years on a good
site. The fruit is aromatic and is
outstanding for fresh eating. Along with its
very sweet and juicy flavor for eating, it
is widely used for canning and cooking
because of its excellent taste.
The Bartlett Pear trees are
self-pollinating, however a pollinator will
help the tree bare better fruit. They do
require bees to help pollinate. Bartlett
Pears do not ripen properly on the tree, so
growers pick the fruit when it is mature but
green.
