As the most popular pear worldwide， Bartlett has achieved this status for a good number of benefits. The reason Bartlett is so popular in grocery stores is the fantastic honeyed flavor that it carries. This terrific flavor combined with possibly the longest shelf life of any pear has catapulted Bartlett to its place of the worlds most desired pear since the 1800's. A key reason that the Bartlett tree has become a favorite for fruit growers is that the tree produces pears at a much younger age than other traditional pear varieties. Planting a Bartlett tree gives you the unique opportunity to enjoy some of the best pears in the world and you'll be picking them years before other pear trees that are the same age.
