Bartlett Pear Tree (7 Gallon)

A Classic Harvest of Sweetness & Southern Tradition

Bring the charm of an old-fashioned orchard to your backyard with our 7-Gallon Bartlett Pear Tree (Pyrus communis). Known for its crisp, juicy texture and honey-sweet flavor, the Bartlett pear is one of the most beloved pear varieties in the world. This tree is more than just a producer of delicious fruit—it’s a symbol of generosity, nourishment, and the joy of sharing life’s simple gifts.

A Plant with History & Heart:
Bartlett pears trace their roots back to the late 18th century, where they quickly became a household favorite in Europe and beyond. In the South, pear trees have long been staples of family farms and backyards—grown for canning, baking, and fresh eating. To many, the pear tree represents hospitality and abundance, offering fruit generously to family, friends, and neighbors year after year.

Where It Grows Best:
The Bartlett Pear thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It’s best suited for USDA Zones 5–8, making it an excellent choice for Southern orchards and home gardens. Plant it in an open space where it can grow strong and reward you with blossoms in spring and a bountiful harvest in late summer.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Full sun for best fruit production.

• Water: Regular watering, especially during dry spells.

• Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic to neutral soil.

• Pruning: Annual pruning to encourage healthy branching and increase yields.

• Pollination: Bartlett pears are partially self-pollinating but produce best when planted near another pear variety for cross-pollination.

Complementary Plant Pairings:
Create a productive backyard orchard by pairing with other fruiting trees like apple, plum, or fig trees, along with pollinator-friendly flowers to support healthy fruiting.

At Wrights Market, we believe a fruit tree is more than just a plant—it’s an heirloom in the making, bringing together family, friends, and neighbors around a harvest of sweetness. The Bartlett Pear Tree offers a timeless way to enjoy fresh fruit and continue the Southern tradition of generosity from your very own garden.
