We planted a grafted Pear tree with 5 varieties in the same tree next to 4 ornamental pear trees, probably Cleveland type. We have not got any fruits from the grafted one since planting it, which was years ago.

1. Theoretically the fruiting one should pollinate itself correct?

2. Do the ornamentals pollinate the fruiting one and prevent it from fruiting?

Thank you.

For a successful cross-pollination of pear trees you need to choose varieties that bloom at the same time. I think it can work in some cases, but its not recommended to use ornamental pears as pollinators for fruiting pears. .
