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.)
