Do webs in pear trees indicate poor health of tree? How do I treat? The tree is at least 50 years old.

You may have webworms, which are simply the larvae of a moth, spinning their own cocoon to protect themselves as they eat and grow. Eventually, they will all take flight and your tree will not be worse for the wear (relatively, they will eat a few leaves before they are done growing). However, if you absolutely must remove them, you can poke holes in the cocoons and wasps will appear out of nowhere to eat them all. You can also cut off the branches and remove far enough away from trees or plants you don't want infested.
