Pear tree - not bradford

18 years ago

I have a fruit-bearing pear tree (not sure what kind as I inherited it when we bought the house). The first couple of years, it produced plenty of fruit. Last year was pretty wimpy (almost non-existent), but I chalked that off to lack of water. This year seems to be shaping up to be a bit more productive, but it's still early.

However, I noticed this year that the amount of leaves it has seems to have thinned. And it has these strange little clusters of balls/berries (?) on it. (I can try to take a pic, but thought someone might be familiar without it.) I remember noticing these clusters last year, but not in previous years, and certainly not as prolific as it seems to be this year. Almost like these clusters are replacing leaves.

Any ideas? Is my tree normal? Is it dieing?
