I have 2 six foot trees in buckets to put in the ground - a barlett pear and a satsuma plum. If no other citrus trees nearby, will they bear fruit? It seems like there should be a straight forward answer but getting different advice from different nurseries and websites... both will bear fruit, may bear fruit, must have 2nd plum and pear, etc....?
Your plums will need a pollinator.

The pear is partially self-pollinating, but will benefit from another
tree nearby, meaning you'll get some fruit with no other tree, but a
much larger yield with a cross pollinator nearby.

Next time you seek similar information, you should be able to find it
easily by a simple Google search of "(PUT YOUR VARIETY HERE)
pollinators."
And neither of the trees you mention is citrus.
