Are there any self-fertile pears apart from Conference?

Our Advice:

Conference is not truly self-fertile but can produce some fruit without pollination which are not pear shaped, but are still edible. The varieties; Beth, Durondeau, Goldember and Invincible are all partly self-fertile. However all these varieties produce a better crop of fruit if there is another pollinator close by.
