Is anyone familiar with this type of bush or tree? I have planted one this spring and would love any information with this type of fruit and about the bush or tree. I have read they bloom pretty although the blooms do not smell good at all. What is your experiences on caring for them and preparing this type of fruit?

Right now they stand at about 4 feet and are native or (wild pawpaws). I have read that they can grow slower than some trees and when they are young and getting started appreciate a little shade as I think they are an understory tree in the wild. Mine are planted right at the drip line of a big oak where they get a little protection from the noon sun and are seeming to like it. I mulch around mine and give them a good ring of compost around the roots every year. Because mine are young I give them water along when it is dry. When I got them they were about knee high and now the are about 4 foot so they seem to be healthy and progressing. I have eaten pawpaw and good and ripe I compare to bananas but they are developing new varieties at the university of Kansas that they say can have different tastes.

I have read that I need two of these trees to pollinate or that I could self pollinate one, with a small paintbrush when it blooms, as you have discussed in how-to in previous posts of self pollinating.
