- Pear RED BARTLETT, also known as Red Favoritka, is among the popular varieties of summer pears. It originated as a mutation of the BARTLETT variety (Williams Christ) in the United States. The tree has a moderate growth rate and can be grown as a semi-dwarf or standard tree. Its growth habit is upright with spreading branches.
- Pear RED BARTLETT is typically grafted onto Caucasian rootstock (Pyrus caucasica), which provides some resistance against diseases such as pear scab and root rot. This rootstock can also help enhance the tree's resistance to frost and drought.
- The flowering time of Pear RED BARTLETT varies depending on the region but generally occurs in April or May. It is cross-pollinated, and suitable pollinators include Beurré Bosc, Bartlett (Williams Christ), Conference, Clapp's Favorite, Xenia, among others. The flowers are white to creamy with a touch of pink.
- Pear RED BARTLETT ripens in the fall, usually in September or October, depending on the specific region, climatic conditions, and growth factors. The fruits are relatively large, round to conical, weighing approximately 180g-220g. The color changes from green to a characteristic red or dark red as they mature. The fruits are firm, juicy, crisp, with a pleasant texture. Fully ripe fruits have a subtly spicy taste. Pear RED BARTLETT is suitable for fresh consumption, salads, desserts, and canning.
