Pyrus communis 'Bartlett' Pear Espalier
Ovate to elliptic glossy dark green leaves have crenate to serrate margins. Foliage turns shades of red and yellow in fall. Aromatic, 5-petaled, creamy white (occasionally flushed with pale pink) flowers in corymbs appear in early spring on spur-like branchlets. Flowers give way to edible, pears that ripen from mid summer to fall depending on cultivar.
