Bartlett Pears have a classic pear shape with a smooth, yellow-green skin that turns yellow as it ripens. The flesh is creamy-white, juicy, and has a sweet flavor with a hint of tartness. They are excellent for eating fresh, canning, baking, and making preserves.
-
Harvesting: Bartlett Pears are typically harvested when they are still firm and green. They continue to ripen off the tree, so it's important to pick them a little early to prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy. Once harvested, they can be stored at room temperature until they reach the desired ripeness.
-
Growing Conditions: Bartlett Pears thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. They prefer well-draining soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Adequate water drainage is important to prevent root rot.

Hahira Nursery takes pride in growing high-quality, fresh, healthy plants and ensuring they are delivered safely, on time, and with little to no damage so they are ready to be planted.
Despite all of our best efforts, once the plants have left our nursery, there are many variables outside of our control that can cause plants, flowers, trees, shrubs, or grasses to not thrive as they should. Plants are living organisms and are susceptible to a number of different environmental and care factors that are outside of our control.
Our goal is to build strong relationships with our customers and we always want to make things right, but we cannot always guarantee what happens once the plants are outside of our nursery, how you care for the plants, if they’re in the correct growing zones, weather damage, soil conditions, insect infestations, etc..
If you have any questions or concerns about a purchase you’ve made, please email us at info@hahiranursery.com and we will work with you on a case-by-case basis to the best of our ability.
Please note that all living organisms are not identical and their coloring, size, and shapes may differ from what you see online in our store. Each plant has its own characteristics that are impacted by the time of year, growth cycle, weather, and other elements which will cause them to look different than their photos.
