Pyrus communis ‘Nye Russet Bartlett’

Nature’s improvement on the classic Bartlett! Similar to the favored Bartlett, but the small-to-medium fruit has a little more complex and spicy flavor, a firmer texture and the same early ripening. Its golden russet skin makes it more resistant to blemishes and scab due to the russeting. A bud mutation of Bartlett discovered in Talent, Oregon, by Stephen Nye in 1924. It ripens a week after Bartlett.

Blooms late, group 3. Resistant to scab. Considered an excellent dessert pear.
