The Southern Bartlett Pear Tree (Pyrus communis ‘Bartlett’), also known as the Williams Pear in Europe, is the most widely grown pear variety in the world—and this low-chill selection brings that legendary flavor to warm Southern climates. Requiring just ~350 chill hours, Southern Bartlett delivers the classic Bartlett experience where standard European pears often struggle, making it an excellent choice for home orchards, backyard growers, and Southern edible landscapes.
Introduced to the United States in the 1790s by Enoch Bartlett of Massachusetts, this historic pear quickly became the gold standard for flavor and versatility. In early to mid-spring, Southern Bartlett trees are covered in soft, white blossoms that attract pollinators and add ornamental beauty. The fruit begins green on the tree, then ripens to a warm golden yellow with occasional red blush, releasing the unmistakable sweet aroma and juicy texture Bartlett pears are famous for.
Perfect for fresh eating, canning, baking, and preserves, Southern Bartlett pears offer reliable production, excellent eating quality, and proven adaptability. For growers seeking a low-chill pear tree that delivers world-class flavor with Southern performance, the Southern Bartlett Pear Tree remains an unmatched classic.

| Pruning | Pear trees should be pruned annually in the winter when they are dormant. Please refer to the Pruning section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
| Fertilization | It is not recommended to fertilize trees at the time of planting or young trees. Excessive fertilizing may cause premature fruit drop. Apply a balanced slow release fertilizer after the tree is established and begins to break dormancy in spring. |
| Watering | Newly planted trees should be watered regularly. This is the most critical step in the establishment of your new trees. Please see the Watering section under "How to plant and grow" in our Learning Center. |
