Pear Trees

 
I have two pear trees which have given me harvest up to 2007 but after
those
years nothing
Please could you help with a solution to this problem

  Where-in-the-world   are you ?
My mother's 2 pear trees gave excellent production
last year,  with no spray or pruning or fertilizer
of any kind.  The newer smaller (dwarf) tree actually
had a major branch break-off  from the weight of the fruit.

So what has the care regime been?  Are you pruning incorrectly, feeding too
much or too little, have they had enough water?

You haven't given us enough to work with to give you a meaningful response.

 

Pears need a pollinator of a different type... perhaps those two were not
pollinating each other but instead were being polinated by a nearby pear
that is no longer there.

 fruit trees can only produce a given amount of fruit and if too much fruit is
left on
the tree after fruit set it saps the tree.  in addition, is there any "gummie"
on the
trunk? was there any evidence of fire blight or other leaf diseases?
sometimes late frost will kill the flowers.  and of course pruning at the wrong
time
can knock out flower setting in summer.
