Asian pear pollination question

[Jimmy Sayavong]

I have two asian pear trees on my backyard. I planted them just last year. One is 20th century variety, and the other is unknown, but definitely is not 20th century because it looks different from the other one.

Both flowered at approximetely the same time (few weeks ago), today I noticed that there were some small fruits on both trees (about 1/4" or so in diameter). I was told that the 20th century variety is self- pollinated, and I am not sure about the "unknown" one, but since there have already been some small fruits on it, can I assume that the tree in question is also self-pollinated? or perhaps, it is too early to say?

Thanks in advance,

JIMMY

Most Asian pear varieties are partially self-fruitful but better fruit set is generally achieved when two or more cultivars are planted together. It's quite possible that your two trees served as pollinators for each other.
