The Shenandoah pears I bought had very little juice in them. I off course have only gotten them from that one source, that one time. I have not seen them where I live, I found them on a trip when I was visiting my family.

I have quite a few different pears and this is the main (or only) variety to get hit this way. I had read that walnuts could be a trap species to keep worms away from the orchard, but I have no idea if that’s true.

99% of web sites state not self fertile, but this year I had one bagged cluster set a couple fruit. (I’m experimenting with custom crosses and use fine mesh organza bags which are quite reliable to keep out unwanted pollen).

Maybe parthenocarpic. Check for seeds when you harvest
