The Bartlett Pear Tree(Pyrus communis) is a top choice for home orchards, renowned for producing large, bell-shaped pears that offer a sweet, buttery flavor. Perfect for USDA Zones 5-8, this fruit tree thrives in well-drained soil with full sunlight, making it ideal for both novice and seasoned gardeners. The golden-yellow pears are delicious fresh from the tree, perfect for baking pies, or preserving as jams and canned fruit.
This self-pollinating tree produces pears within 3-5 years of planting, providing an attractive feature to your landscape with its spring blossoms and reliable autumn harvest.
