Stock status: In stock
Country: United Kingdom

A striking and delicious twiston the worlds favorite pear, Red Bartlett fruit boasts a number of improvements on the classic Bartlett pear. Scarlet red coloring of these pears is the most striking and apparent difference, but this beautiful shade of Redis more than just added visual appeal. This bright red coloring is certainly beautiful and nice to look at, but its also immensely useful and practical in solving an issue that pear growers have faced for centuries. A timeless problem with growing pears is that due to their firm texture and ever-constant coloring, it can be quite difficult to know for certain when they are ripe. Green pears like Bartlett and DAnjou attain their coloring when they are quite small and keep this same shade of green up until they are picked and eaten. Red Bartlett pears are altogether different because they don't take on their signature scarlet flush until they are fully ripe and ready to eat. When these pears are fully red with color, you can be certain they are also delicious. These pears are also preferable for dishes like salads which don't require cooking dueto their sweetness and bright red visual effect. Red Bartlett are also some of the softest and most aromatic pears grown today, in fact when ripe they are softer than an apple. This tree makes a perfect addition to a home orchard or even planted alone since its self-pollinating. Red Bartlett is certainly 1 of the most delicious, beautiful and underrated pears grown today.
