I remember reading recently about a couple varieties that are self-fruitful
but there was a warning that in colder climates, they may not pollinate well.
 I'm glad to see they are doing well in Quebec.

I solved the problem by buying a tree that has four varieties grafted onto it.

> I have found conflicting information about the need for a pollinator for
these.  Are they self-
> fruitful? (One source said Shinseiki "tends to be self-fruitful", but other
cultivars require a 
> pollinator).  Supplementary question: any comments on root stocks?  (One
source seems to 
> suggest that European pear stocks work fine, but I have a vague recollection
from the distant 
> past of talk of incompatibilities.)
