Question: a Red Bartlette Pear and a Starkrimson Pear?


Answers: a Red Bartlette Pear and a Starkrimson Pear?
IDENTIFYING RED BARTLETTS
For many, the Bartlett pear carries a true pyriform "pear shape;" a rounded bell on the bottom half of the fruit, then a definitive shoulder with a smaller neck or stem end. Bartletts are also extremely aromatic pears, and have a definitive "pear flavor." Just as Yellow Bartletts change color while ripening, so do Red Bartletts; changing from a dark red often with light vertical striping to become a bright red. Aside from color, there are no other differences between the two types of Bartlett pears. Consider Red Bartletts for an attractive fruit basket or bowl display. Together, Red & Green USA Bartletts make a striking counter or table-top centerpiece.

IDENTIFYING STARKRIMSON
The Starkrimson pear is a brilliant and solid red. As it ripens, it may turn even more brilliant! This variety shares similar taste and texture to the Bartlett pears, but may have a more noticible floral note to its aroma and taste. Starkrimson pears are becoming easier to find around the country. If you see some at your local store, don't pass up the opportunity to try this beautiful and tasty variety.
