The pollination is improved by having a Bartlett pear tree in the vicinity. There are 51 pears on this tree standing alone. I will plant a Bartlett pear tree to improve pollination. The tree is a fine shade tree for the backyard. This tree has been in the garden four years. Fruit appears to be quality. The fruit is picked when mature and allowed to ripen off the tree. If tree ripened the fruit bruises easily and storage time is reduced.
