I have five left from a visit to Fremont,CA last week,from Bill Merrill's trees.They are the only Pawpaw I've ever tried about three years ago and that started me growing them.From two fruit I planted about ten seeds and grew about that many plants from them.
This time,I got the last what was on the trees,about fifteen and a lot of seeds,so far.I'll be growing them as soon as they stratify.If anyone wants a plant or two,let me know.They are the only I've tried,but good flavor.Bill said they are are cross between Corwin Davis and Ray Jones,a local San Jose grower.

| I pulped and froze what was left of my batch today to make room in my fruit freezer for the late apples, pears and persimmons. The pawpaws had mostly degraded to a condition beyond what I would consider salvageable - as soon as the flesh loses that bright yellow color and shows any movement toward orange, I know that the taste will be too strong and bitter for my palate. My harvest began late this year - sometime in early September and continued until about a week ago. Had a smallish crop - I think because I didn't hand pollinate but ate < 5% of the fruit anyway. Best variety IMO this year was Shenandoah. |

| Did you save any seeds for us? |

| Mine quit a couple weeks ago. I had many great pawpaws this year, but I tend to get them after they drop and the trees are in a row on a hill and the fruits roll down so I am never exactly sure which tree the fruit came from. They all taste similar enough to me anyway. Scott |

| I debate with myself every year about getting pawpaw trees. I think I may actually get a couple this year... if I don't talk myself out of it. |

| Hmm . . . I'm interested in them too. Do I want a pawpaw tree in my yard? |

| Sure Queen,but grow two for cross pollination.Your state native fruit is the Pawpaw. Brady |
