The Red Bartlett Pear shares many characteristics with the traditional Bartlett variety but is distinguished by its striking scarlet skin that develops only when the fruit is fully ripe. It features tender, white flesh with a sweet, fragrant flavor, maturing in late summer. This pear tree can reach heights of up to 18 feet and spread 15 feet wide, producing white blossoms in May amid lush green leaves. In autumn, its foliage transforms into vibrant shades of red and yellow, adding seasonal interest to any garden.
