According to Wiki the Bradford and Cleveland are cultivars of the
Callery Pear <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Callery_pear> Without
identifiying the cultivar there's a photo showing fruit. My daughter
has Bradford pear tress which I also thought did not bear fruit. But in
searching Google for Bradford pear I found this image

I think if you're looking for pears to eat you'll be disappointed unless
you're a bird. But it does look like there is fruit.
