    Keep in mind that there will often be no fruit. Pawpaws spread in monoclonal colonies, and a colony can’t pollinate itself. I live surrounded by many pawpaw groves, but only a few actually make fruit. Supposedly you can spray the trees down with fish emulsion to attract the flies that pollinate them, but that still only helps if you have 2 non-clones next to each other
