Some weeks ago I asked of you to please explain how a pear tree (Ure)
can produce fruit without a pollinator. I wondered if, somehow, it could
become self-fertile and one of you answered saying that pear trees sometimes
produce seedless fruit if they bloom on a warm day.
The tree did bloom on a warmer than average day however all of the
fruits contain seeds! The tree is nearly twenty years old and I can't help
but wonder if a pear tree can become self-fertile if it hasn't produced
seeds in a great long time. Is it possible?
