Notes
'Red Sensation Bartlett' pear (Pyrus communis 'Red Sensation Bartlett') is a fruit tree for borders, pollinator gardens, and food gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The fragrant spring flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It grows erect and can reach 20 feet tall, so give it plenty of room.
Pairs well with Virginia strawberry, Mexican hat, Trumpet honeysuckle, and Fennel.
