Help with Pear Tree production

We planted a grafted Pear tree with 5 varieties in the same tree next to 4 ornamental pear trees, probably Cleveland type. We have not got any fruits from the grafted one since planting it, which was years ago.

1. Theoretically the fruiting one should pollinate itself correct?

2. Do the ornamentals pollinate the fruiting one with and prevent it from fruiting?

Thank you.

has the 5-in-one been flowering? in general, yes, the 5 on the 1, if they all bloom at once, should pollinate each other. and no, pollen from the ornamentals shouldn't keep the edible one from fruiting.

Yes it flowers and appears to get pollinated but they don't turn into fruits.

How big is the grafted tree?

Do you have a picture by any chance?

A little taller than 20ft.

I've heard pears can take a really long time before they first produce fruit
