Pollination Info

Pollination Information for Bartlett Pear Tree

The Bartlett Pear Tree (Pyrus communis 'Bartlett') is a self-sterile variety, which means it requires cross-pollination from a different pear tree to produce fruit. It is not recommended to plant this variety alone, as it may not produce any fruit without cross-pollination.

The Bartlett Pear Tree is considered a good pollinator for other pear varieties, as it produces a large amount of pollen and blooms for an extended period of time.

Recommended cross-pollinators for the Bartlett Pear Tree include:

  • Bosc Pear
  • Anjou Pear
  • Comice Pear
  • Seckel Pear
  • Red Bartlett Pear

It is recommended to plant cross-pollinators within 50 feet of the Bartlett Pear Tree for optimal pollination.

Pollinators for the Bartlett Pear Tree should also be of the same bloom time and have compatible pollen grains. It is recommended to plant at least two cross-pollinators to increase the likelihood of successful pollination.

Bees are the primary pollinators for pear trees, and it is important to have a healthy population of bees in the area during bloom time.
