[Leica] IMG: Fruit on Cleveland Pear

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

I know that there are a number of list members who dabble in gardening, etc. 
 This image shows clusters of small fruit, growing on a Cleveland Pear tree, 
purchased several years ago at Lowe's Gardening Center.  This tree is 
supposed to be similar to the more common Bradford Pear.

Is it common for these decorative trees to bear such fruit?  I thought they 
were cultivated so as not to produce fruit.

Any information will be very much appreciated.
