Pyrus communis Bartlett

Pear Tree Bartlett

One of the most popular varieties of pear tree due to its juicy, sweet and fragrant fruit. ‘Bartlett’ pears are medium-sized, bell-shaped, with smooth skin that turns golden yellow when ripe. The flesh is fine, sweet and slightly tart, ideal for fresh consumption, canning, or for making juices and compotes. This pear tree is self-sterile, so it is necessary to plant it with another variety of pear tree to ensure cross-pollination and promote a bountiful harvest. It usually begins to produce fruit about 4 to 6 years after planting. It requires regular watering, especially during dry periods, but it is important to avoid excess water to prevent root rot. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring, before the vegetation resumes. It is advisable to remove dead or diseased branches and prune lightly to maintain an airy shape and promote better air circulation.
