Can an apple tree pollinate my dwarf bartlett pear tree?

No, an apple tree will not pollinate any pear. Apples and pears are different species. Pollen from another pear variety is needed, not another Bartlett. Dwarf or not doesn't matter; it just has to flower at the same time and be compatible. Cornell suggests Anjou, Aurora, Highland, Maxine, Honeysweet, Clapp's Favorite or Gorham. Seckel, Magness and Kieffer will not work.
