Bartlett Pear – Shipping Fall 2026

$57.00

-

A cultivar that has stood the test of time for human food, but also preferred by wildlife! A soft-fruited earlier-ripening selection that drops in late summer. Compared with our other offerings this selection is a bit more susceptible to fire blight, especially along the humid gulf coast or wet spring weather, but if kept in proper growing conditions without water stress, excess fertilizer and avoiding spring pruning, chances of infection will be reduced greatly. Plant with our later-fruiting selections to extend the season of pear availability for your deer, and to help maximize pollination between cultivars.

Southern Bartlett Pear Tree Description

The Bartlett Pear is a classic, time-tested tree that predictably pulls wildlife to your land with its reliable mid-season fruit drop. Spring opens with clusters of white blossoms, a sure sign of the sweetness to come. By late summer—often August into September—those flowers ripen into large, golden-green pears that turn buttery yellow when ready, juicy and sweet, a favorite for whitetails when they soften and fall, drawing deer past other forage.Reaching 25’ with a rounded, upright crown, the Bartlett settles into full sun and well-drained soils, holding its own in a range of conditions. Its smooth bark and leaves that shift to warm yellows in fall bring a familiar, lived-in look to your property, but the fruit is what keeps critters circling—dropping steadily to feed deer and birds alike. Partially self-fertile, it’ll produce on its own in many spots, though nearby pear trees boost the crop and reliability. Plant it solo or layer it with later bearers like the Kieffer for a spread that carries attraction from summer through fall.In USDA zones 5-9, the Bartlett Pear is a steady, no-drama choice for landowners enriching their deer habitat.
