Pear x 'Bartlett': Green Pears That Ripen to Golden Yellow

Bartlett carries medium to large pears that change from green toward yellow as they ripen. Their rich flavour and mid-September harvest make them a familiar, versatile home-orchard choice.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 5-6 m
• Spread: 3-4 m
• Flower Colour: White
• Flowering Period: Spring
• Foliage: Green

Uses and Benefits: Excellent for fresh eating and canning, with useful storage potential when picked at the right stage. The changing skin colour helps track fruit as it ripens after picking.

Care Instructions: Include a compatible pear flowering at the same time. Thin an overloaded crop, maintain even moisture and harvest mature fruit gently before allowing it to soften fully for eating.
