Some of the problems may have been rootstock on the pears I had.  Then of course there were the two trees my goats ate :)

I've picked about 10 pounds of these little hard pears and ripened them with an apple in a bowl.  Going to try canning them as spiced pears as they are a bit gritty for fresh eating.  I was impressed with how much fruit was set without a nearby pollinator with this tree.

You might be able to top graft it to better quality.  I am surprised you had so much trouble growing pears.  They are incredibly easy to grow here on the red clay of the Highland Rim where apples barely grow.  Donna
