Bartlett
Large and appealing fruit with very sweet and tender flesh. Picked green, but enjoyed when skin ripens to a soft yellow (sometimes with a slight blush). Tree bears early, heavily, and regularly. Requires a pollenizer in most areas; use Bosc, Super Red™ or Winter Nelis. Excellent fresh or canned.
