A vibrant, sweet variety known for its smooth texture and striking red skin. The fruit is medium to large with juicy, aromatic flesh, making it ideal for fresh eating and preserving. It is not self-fertile and requires a compatible pollinator for good yields. Red Bartlett ripens in late summer, typically just after yellow Bartlett, and is easy to tell when ripe by its changing skin color. The tree requires about 800 to 1,000 chilling hours.
