Apparently I should have mentioned...................The isolated pear tree out in the countryside produces viable seed. My own pear tree that has suddenly started to bear fruit produces seeded fruits. No seedless fruits here.

Pears are quite capable of parthenocarpy under the right spring
conditions. If days in early spring are warm and sunny, many varieties
will bear a full crop of seedless fruit. When S. CA had a commercial
Bartlett industry some growers didn't even plant other varieties in their
orchard according to Childers in his classic "Fruit Science".

I suspect that this is the reason for confusion over what varieties are
self-fruitful- it all depends.
