Here's info on Warren and Magness, from the NCGR Pyrus collection:

My Warren on seedling pear rootstock took a minimum of 8 years to 
bloom and set a small crop of fruit.  There are numerous other pears 
planted in its proximity, but none are of blooming/fruiting age - the 
older, bearing pears are easily 300 ft. away, on the other side of the pond.
Magness - and a half-dozen other varieties on OHxF513 should have 
been transplanted to the area around Warren this spring, but I just 
didn't get it done.
