What to look for when buying fruit trees

Dan Neuteboom talks about what to look out for when buying fruit trees. A healthy tree is essential, but you can also look for characteristics that indicate a rapid start of fruiting. A comparison of several trees. Look out for the presence or absence of fruit bud when you are buying the tree. Take care with pest protection, particularly in years with abundant aphids.

Dan, I am trying to understand why my Conference Pear tree which is about 5 years old now, flowers each year but I never get fruit from it. When I bought it I was told it is self pollinating, but from what I’ve read up I might need another tree, if so could I graft on to the one I have? as I don’t have the space to put another in the garden, and secondly what Pear trees are compatible with a Conference Pear tree to help with pollination. Thanks for the videos 🍻
