Bartlett European Pear

Bartlett European Pear

Beautiful, golden yellow, the Bartlett Pear Tree is what we think of when we think Pear. Sweet, juicy, and delicious, there’s nothing better in late summer. Eat Bartlett Pears fresh, can them, dry them, or bake with them. Bartlett is easy to grow, very productive, and ripens in late August.
