No blooms on pear trees after 5 years
Also keep in mind that full size trees take longer (sometimes a few
years)
to blossom than dwarf or semi-dwarf. You did not mention what kind of
root stock these trees were on, but this can explain their taking longer
to bloom than your apple trees.

I have a couple pear trees that I purchased from nursery/rootstock 5 and 6
years ago. The oldest was one of those 5-in-1 grafted trees, the other a
Duchess. Both trees are fairly healthy (glossy leaves), and grow a little
bit each year.
My concern is that I have never seen a blossom/fruit yet. Nearby apple
trees started producing 2-3 year after planting. I have pruned them back in
the past, but have not touched either one the last couple years.
Suggestions?
