We have taken on the management of two established unknown variety dwarf rootstock pear trees. The trees look pretty healthy, and blossomed well setting a lot of fruitlets.

So we were very disappointed that the fruitlets are seriously diseased.

Any information on treatment possibilities for next year, gratefully received.

That looks like a fungal disease to me.  

I would suggest a non-toxic fungicide:

Do you know how these trees were managed before and if they had the history of the same disease? It's too late to salvage the fruits but you can make sure the trees get good care this year and situation will improve next season.
