Why We Grow It

We grow Bartlett for its exceptional fruit quality, dependable productivity, and strong performance in cold-climate orchards. Its sweet, aromatic pears are highly versatile, and the tree’s vigor and durability on Pyrus communis rootstock make it well suited to a wide range of soils and growing conditions. With reliable bloom overlap with Summercrisp and Anjou, Bartlett fits seamlessly into mixed plantings and remains one of the best early-season pears for northern growers.

How the Plant Grows

Bartlett forms a vigorous, upright tree with strong central leader growth and reliable annual cropping once established. It blooms in the early to mid spring window and sets fruit readily when paired with overlapping varieties like Summercrisp and Anjou. Fruit ripens to a classic yellow with rich aroma and soft, melting texture. Trees on Pyrus communis seedling rootstock develop deep, wide root systems that support long-term vigor, anchorage, and resilience.

Additional Info

One of the most widely grown pears in the world; excellent for fresh eating, canning, and preserves; fruit develops peak flavor when harvested firm and ripened indoors

Bartlett is the classic European pear known for its rich aroma, buttery texture, and sweet, juicy flavor. It ripens early to mid-season and performs reliably in northern climates. Grafted onto Pyrus communis seedling rootstock, Bartlett grows into a vigorous, well-anchored, long-lived tree with excellent soil adaptability and strong cold tolerance. This combination delivers a productive, durable pear tree ideal for homesteads, mixed orchards, and diverse planting systems.
