Bartlett Pear
Few things are more satisfying than walking out to your own yard and picking a perfectly ripe, juicy pear. Bartlett Pear is the classic choice — the same sweet, buttery variety you find at the farmers market, now growing in your own landscape. It's one of the most popular and widely grown pear varieties in the world for good reason: reliable crops, excellent flavor, and a tree that's as beautiful in spring bloom as it is loaded with fruit in late summer.
Bartlett produces large, bell-shaped, yellow-green pears with smooth, sweet flesh that's perfect for fresh eating, canning, and preserving. It's a vigorous grower that establishes quickly and begins bearing fruit within a few years. For best fruit set, plant a second pear variety nearby for cross-pollination.
