Just got and planted my Christmas gift from work yesterday. A dwarf pear tree, can't wait for spring to plant lavender, rosemary, strawberry and other flowers around it. But the rest of the garden is still a bit messy

It's a self pollinating variety, but if a other tree is nearby it will have more fruits. My old neighbours had 1 appel tree and 1 pear tree that where also self pollinating. They had fruit almost every year.
I'm also looking to get a appel tree and self pollinating is one of the things it needs to be. I have room for only 2 small trees and rather have 2 different fruits then 1 but more. But as I understand self pollinating variety work but if there is a compatible species nearby you get more fruits. But I will see how much fruit it will produce if any.
