Many thanks to David and everyone! Its back to the nursery for two different varieties for cross pollination. i would

rather have extra than a poor crop down the road. Disappointed in the
nursery dude who said pear would pollenate plum. Location is charlotte
nc usa.

Aside from pollenation NC is in the wrong growing zone for pear and
plum... both require a lenghthy hard freeze for fruit production.

As much chance of a pear pollinating a pear as your dog breeding with
your cat.
That Nursery sounds like it needs someone who knows what they are
talking about
