In general, not self-fruitful. Best way to determine variety will
be from the fruit, beware there are lots of varieties to which you
will have to compare! Size shape ,russeting, color, and texture of
fruit will all be good indicators. Leaves are not.

I planted one asian pear tree on my backyard. Its variety
is unknown, but definitely not 20-century because I have a
20-century
pear planted last year , the leaf physically looks slightly
different
than the one in question.

My questions a

1. without knowing its variety, is asian pear in general
self-fruitfull?
2. Is/are there any ways to figure out its real variety? I asked
the
nursery where I bought it originally, they appeared to give me
conflicting answers.


Thanks in advance,
