Just over 6 months ago, I purchased a pear tree that has 5 varieties
grafted onto it. It is about 5' tall, and perhaps a little over 3/4"
across at the base.

I'd give it a couple years.

So would I. I think you are expecting quite a lot from this little tree.
It gave you a piece of fruit and its wounded and its only been in for a very
short time. Talk to it nicely and apologise for expecting it to give you
fruit and for thinking mean thoughts about it. Just treat it like a nice
little ornamental for a couple of years and see what it will do. I'd be
quite surprised if it didn't come good.
