Dwarf pear tree for group 2 pollination

Hello, we have a Louise Bonne of Jersey pear tree which I was hoping would cross pollinate with our apple tree because both were in blossom at the same time but it wasn’t to be.

Can anyone suggest a nice dwarf pear that fits in with group 2 for next year?

Thanks in advance

    Here is the Orange Pippin site pollinator list for that variety:

    As you’ve discovered, but to clarify for any latecomers to this thread, apples and pears (and any other different types of fruit) will not work as pollination partners.

    As I’ve said on another thread this evening @markos  ... the day we stop learning is the day we give up and turn up our toes. 😊
