Last spring I came across a vendor at a flea market with all sorts of fruit trees for $5.00 each. On impulse (and since I had the room to spare for planting them) I bought a Bartlett pear, a Granny Smith apple (both grafted, each around 6 feet tall). It wasn't until on the way home it crossed my mind that they might not be self-fertile. I did a bit of web searching and found mixed information-- some sites listed Bartlett pear and Granny Smith apple as self-fertile varieties, some didn't. Bee polinators would be present.
So my two questions are:
1.) Are these two varieties of fruit tree self-fertile without other varieties of apple or pear around? (If not, I want to be able to take them up before they get too big).2.) Are Bartlett pear trees able to fertilize Bradford pear trees, thus causing my troublesome neighbor's decroative Bradfords to start producing fruit which would be a messy hassle for him to clean up? (I hadn't thought of that at the time of buying the tree, but I'm really hoping for a "yes" on this one).
