Jim,

   If the tree is receiving ample pollination, why graft pollinizers on it? You COULD have a pollination issue unrelated to cross-pollination---like a nutrient deficiency. Zinc is important for pollination, for example. There could be other possibilties that I'm sure others on the list can suggest.

                             Regards,

    I have a Ure Pear that receives ample pollination (I have bee hives) but
produces few fruits.  I'd like to graft other pear varieties onto it to
achieve cross pollination.  Which varieties could I graft onto it that might
bloom at the same time?  I'm in zone 3.
