Why is it producing any larger than that?
You may have an ornamental pear, bred for flowering and not for fruit quality.
Or if a fruiting pear, it could be related to soil fertility and water management. Irrigate and fertilize adequately from early spring and through the growing season.
Pear tree has dead branches midst spotted and pitted small flattened black with red insects infestation in Georgia. What should I do first, second, third?
This appears to be Fire Blight.

I planted a 15-gallon aristocrat pear tree about 3 years ago and it has failed to grow or spread out. This tree was recommended by our city public works dept for curb strip trees in our area. It is a flowering tree but has many clusters of small fruits at the tips of the branches. Can this be hindering its growth and should I cut them off. It is watered 3 times a week and my gardener even wrapped a drip line around the bottom last year to make sure it had sufficient water. Any advice would be appreciated.
Was the tree root bound or burlap wrapped at planting?
Roots should be spread out and any wrapping removed from the roots during planting.

Hello I got a bundle of Ussurian Pear trees this past spring and all of the leaves have burntlike black edges. What is causing this? And how do I save my trees? Thanks
The blackening of the leaf margins could be from drought stress (water deficit) or from fire-blight or another tree disease. This article may help you narrow it down. Send photos and we may be able to help further.
