Bartlett Pear Tree

The Dwarf Bartlett Pear Tree (Pyrus pyrifolia 'Bartlett') is a compact variety ideal for smaller spaces or home gardens. Growing to about 8-10 feet tall, it produces the same sweet, juicy, and aromatic fruit as the standard Bartlett, with medium to large pears that ripen in late summer to early fall. The tree is self-pollinating but benefits from cross-pollination with another pear variety for better fruit yield. It thrives in USDA Zones 5-8, requiring full sun, well-drained, fertile soil, and regular watering. While hardy, it can be susceptible to diseases like fire blight, so monitoring and treatment are recommended. Annual pruning helps maintain shape and improve fruit production.
