About Bartlett Pears

• Availability: August through June
• Did You Know? Ripe: Green to Yellow

For many, the Bartlett pear carries a true pyriform pear shape, a rounded bell on the bottom half of the fruit, then a definitive shoulder with a smaller neck or stem end. Bartletts are extremely aromatic pears, and have a definitive sweet pear flavor. Just as Yellow Bartletts change color while ripening, so do Red Bartletts; changing from a dark red often with light vertical striping to become a bright red.
