Product Details

This beautiful pear is part of the extensive Bartlett family. It has the buttery, juicy, melt in your mouth sweetness of all Bartletts and ripens in early September at 2700' elevation. The skin has a gorgeous, deep orange-pink sun blush. The sweet and perfumed flesh is buttery sweet and slightly grainy. A favorite for fresh eating, canning or drying. Fruit is medium to very large. Appears to be self fruitful, but like all pears, will likely produce bigger crops with another variety growing nearby.

The mother tree grows at 2700’ in a quaint Gold Rush era homestead in Goodyears Bar, CA near the North Fork of the Yuba River. This tree is cared for by our wise, very active friend, octogenarian, Cy Rollins, whose knowledge and storytelling has captivated and inspired us. Not only does Cy tend many heirloom fruit and nut trees, he also collects antique mining and logging equipment. He even set up a public museum so that all can enjoy the history of the local area. Of the 100 or so heirloom trees Cy stewards, we have selected about a dozen of our favorites for your growing enjoyment.
