I'm trying to grow these in Seattle. I hope they fruit one day.

binbin9 if they are growing they will fruit. last year was the first year i had fruit but only
6 fruit on two trees. this year the both trees where loaded with flowers. i even tried my hand at hand pollinating. i also tied on each tree a nice slice of fresh watermelon. i was a little discounted in the results. the larger tree only from what i could see just had 6 fruit hanging from it's limbs. the other tree had nothing. the other day after a hard rain
i looked the trees over again and to my surprise on the bottom limbs of the larger tree
i counted 12 more fruit and on the other tree i located just two pawpaw. all in all i think as of now i should have 18 fruit all together. i guess it's better than nothing.

i did not place the correct photos on my post--sorry my mistake.
i am going to give it another shot. i also showed you my pawpaw seeds given to me by a friend. I will show you on this round what the young seedlings look like after germination.

i have some tiny baby paw paws.   Hope I am still alive when they fruit.   LOL

Nice size trees Lou. 
I remember when i let you sample them. 

Lou did you start those from seed? I have two seedling pawpaws I started maybe 10 years ago and have yet to see a flower on one of them.

A guy here grew his paw paws in large garbage bins. He hand pollinates them - 7 varieties. He
has done well the last 6 yrs.

Guys
Bass did introduce me to the pawpaw and I was hooked after the first bite.
As far as I am concerned they are a #10 out of 10.
No not from seed. My plants came from Bass, England, and old gentleman living on the mountain (name escapes me now). They all where grafted varieties.
No I have not sold trees. No care at all growing them.
I am so happy that I have pawpaw trees growing and producing in my yard
