Hi, I'm no gardener but I bought this pear tree last year, I was hoping this year we may get some fruit from it. The leaves are not looking too good and it has not flowered for any fruit. Can anyone help, tell me if or what I am doing wrong. Many thanks

Its going to grow and cover the window?

 

Give it a bit more time, see what it does next year - my fruit trees took a few years before they fruited well

Give it a few years and you will start to see some changes.

As above . p.s. there is no need to shout ! 🙂

IS IT A SELF FERTILE PEAR TREE ?

 

Im no pomologist but for the  best crop you  might need another in same pollination group....

Grow two compatible trees for reliable pollination

 

As for yellow leaves maybe chuck some some compost /mulch /manure  etc round the base (but dont volcano mulch)

How many years from a seedling until a pear/apple tree produces something? 
i’m going to clear a banking at my house and don’t want to spoil my view with really high trees etc.

About 5yrs until decent crop

 

Size is governed by  which rootstock you choose

I don't know much about fruit trees but our apple trees in direct sun produce way more fruit than those in shade... does it get decent amount of direct sunlight?
