Pyrus communis 'Bartlett'

Skip This If

You only have room for one pear.
Deer regularly feed unprotected.
You want a privacy screen.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	B	Bartlett brings spring bloom and useful fruit, but it reads more like an orchard tree than a formal landscape feature.
Growth Rate	B+	It is a fast-growing fruit tree when planted in the right exposure with steady moisture.
Maintenance	C+	Plan on pruning, pollination planning, pest monitoring, and fruit cleanup.
Deer Resistance	D	Deer may browse tender growth and fruit, especially on young trees.
Small Space Fit	C	It can work in a yard with room, but it is not a tight foundation or patio tree.
Screening Value	D	As a deciduous fruit tree, it should not be counted on for privacy.

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Bartlett only when the customer also plans for pollination, pruning access, and deer protection while young.

Customers Usually Ask

Does Bartlett need another pear?

Will deer bother it?
