"With restriction enzyme Anza can pear cloning be done and can multiple copies be made?"

Cloning comes from the Greek word for twig.
It refers to the ancient process of taking a cutting (i.e. a twig) to propagate plants.
My understanding is that most commercial pear trees are already produced this way.
It also gives you the advantage of choosing a different rootstock for a particular variety of pear to suit the conditions you have.
So, why do it the hard way?
