This variety is supposed to be self- fertile, but most trees bear better with a second variety such as a Flordahome or Hood Pear tree. To hand pollinate fruit trees, take a Q-tip or paint brush. Dap the center and then dab into other blossoms. You may need a ladder. This will work if self fertile though you will get better yield and quality fruit whenever you cross-pollinate with another pear variety in the same pollination group.
