Most pear trees do need another pollinator in order to fruit. There are some pear trees that are self-pollinating, which means that they don’t need a companion pear tree in order to fruit. Although most pear trees are self-pollinating and don’t NEED a pollinator variety to produce fruit, having one increases, fruit size, and production of the pears.

Asian pear trees are notorious for being self fertile but having another pear tree variety nearby will increase fruit production.
