Beginner Gardening: Help with pear tree..., 0 by JulieQ

Does anyone have any fruiting pear trees? ( not ornamental, like Bradford) I would like some help with one. I don't know what type of pear it is (no ID yet from the ID forum), but the pears are looking very nice. The leaves started getting some black spots and I sprayed with fungicide. The leaves also have lighter green veins. In looking at some sites they say to pick the pears a week or two before they ripen. I wonder how you know? Knowing the type might help.

Any fruit, particularly pear, growers out there?
