My elderly neighbour has a 4yr old Conference pear. This little tree
bears
fruit each year - perhaps 13 or 14 pears. They sit and watch as the pears
all drop off when still quite small. The tree looks perfectly healthy.
Any
suggestions what could be causing this.

It is quite close to another small tree (Golden Delicious) also relatively
young, which produces excellent fruits in abundance!

Survival of the fittest!

The poorly tree needs a good top dressing and regular watering to get it
back into good condition so it can compete with its near neighbour.
