{"product_id":"bartlett-pear","title":"Bartlett Pear","description":"\u003cp\u003eBartlett Pear is the classic sweet, juicy European pear used for fresh eating, canning, baking, and drying. Fruit is normally harvested while still green and firm, then allowed to finish ripening off the tree as the skin turns yellow. Bartlett may set some fruit alone, but a compatible European pear generally improves production. Because Bartlett has a relatively high winter-chill requirement, crops may be inconsistent in warmer parts of the South; confirm local chill accumulation and the tree's rootstock before making a site recommendation. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePyrus communis 'Bartlett'\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rootstock-dependent; commonly 15–30 ft tall × Rootstock-dependent; commonly 12–20 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChill requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Often listed around 700–800 hours; verify supplier tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can set some fruit alone, but a compatible European pear improves yield and fruit size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early to mid-spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late summer; pick green and ripen off the tree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic bell-shaped pear with green skin that turns yellow and sweet, juicy flesh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, consistent moisture in well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright deciduous grafted fruit tree; size depends on rootstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePruning and training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Train to a central leader; thin overcrowded branches and remove fire-blight strikes promptly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home orchard, edible landscape, fresh eating, canning and baking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flowers support pollinators; fruit may attract birds and wildlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlant size, harvest timing and performance vary with climate, rootstock where applicable, soil, pruning and care.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Towns Edge Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gallon","offer_id":45139884277968,"sku":"FRT-1002-05G","price":58.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/6954\/1584\/files\/BartlettPearCgpt1.png?v=1788634707","url":"https:\/\/townsedgenursery.com\/products\/bartlett-pear","provider":"Towns Edge Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
