Sensation Red Bartlett European Pear Scionwood

History: Sensation Red Bartlett, a sport or mutation of Bartlett, was discovered as a random mutation on a Bartlett tree growing in Australia in the 1930s. Thanks to its unique red skin and sweeter taste, it was eventually introduced commercially around 1960. It is most commonly grown in Australia and New Zealand. 

Why We Grow It: A sport of Bartlett, this pear has the best features of its predecessor but boasts a higher sugar content and cheery red skin. For anyone who is a fan of Bartlett pears and unique yet delicious varieties, this pear is an excellent choice.
