Red Bartlett

The Red Bartlett, known also as 'Max Red', was first discovered on a regular Bartlett tree near Zillah, Washington in 1938. Red Bartlett pears have all the wonderful flavor and sweet aroma of the regular Bartlett, plus a beautiful red skin color. They can vary in color from a light red vertical striping over a green background to a dark, solid maroon color. In almost all respects, Red Bartlett pears are nearly the same as Yellow Bartletts.
