PYRUS FRUIT - RED BARTLETT

Slightly sweeter and finer textured than regular Bartlett, they are excellent for fresh eating, canning and drying. Ripens along with Bartlett in mid-late August. As with other pears, if allowed to ripen on the tree, these pears may become grittier due to deposits of lignin and cellulose; they are much smoother in texture if picked and allowed to ripen at room temperature.
