Suggest someone knowledgeable about fruit trees look at the fruit and
the tree. Can't say what the problem is out of context. Too many
unknowns, variables, with a mature pear tree. Could be codling moth:

Subject: [compost_tea] pear trees/ worms
I sprayed some compost tea 4 times through the season on a pear
tree this last season that is about 35 years old maybe older that has
been sprayed chemically faithfully for as long as this lady can
remember, this year the leaves were greener they stayed on longer size
and shape were perfect not a blemish on any of them , her words, she was
very happy untill she cut into them evidently a little worm went down
inside along the stem from the top could someone maybe point me in the
right direction for what else i could have done for her for the bugs
there was no indication there was a problem until then , we are looking
at spraying earlier this year she is going to let me spray her apples
to.
any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Reece
