Guess what it is. Betty loves them.  If you look close you can see six on one stem the most I have ever seen.  There are five on this one.  One on the left came off of our tree the two on right came off of a friends tree. These are also the biggest ones I have ever seen. Most probably will know but you will be surprised how many people have never heard of them. You either love them or don't like them. Betty loves them and I can't stand them. We have a tree by our garage. Last year the frost killed the bloom but this year the tree is loaded as you can see they have from three to six to the stem. In case you don't know I will tell you later.  Jim  My wife has a long honey do list, I read it, thank about it, than take a nap to see if it goes away. 49 Cub

Don't know about a cold climate variety. They grow in central Missouri. Not common though.

Rudi,
I don't think that they would tolerate your temperatures that far North. I've only seen them growing in the wild, so I don't know if they are available commercially.

Rudi, I agree with Don I wouldn't thank Paw Paws would grow that far North. The blooms want even stand frost. Every year our tree is loaded with blooms than we will get a light frost. Any bloom that gets frost on them will abort. If it doesn't get to cold and the tree is in the woods usually they will make it. Betty says the texture of the PawPaw is something like custard. She also says she doesn't thank they taste like Papaya they are even better. Wish you lived closer. Would send you some but I don't thank they would keep.

Jim: What zone are you in? Gardening Zone that is... According to Wikipedia : PawPawWikipedia wrote:The pawpaws are shrubs or small trees, reaching heights of 2 to 12 m tall. The northern, cold-tolerant common pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is deciduous, while the southern species are often evergreen.
Also, here is the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map from the US Department of Agriculture:  If you notice, it shows us as USDA HPZ-4a although no hyperlink.

Paw-Paws are offered in several seed catalogs that I receive. However, just about all of the seed catalogs that I receive are from nurserys located in Midwest.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Eugene...
What zone in the midwest? Surprisingly some very nice fruit trees survive the winter here. So far I have had fair luck with Peach trees believe it or not.. but this is the 3rd year for one.. and it seems to be thriving. Had 2 peaches last year, but the birds got em before we did... next time we will be faster..

Rudi. I am right on the edge of zone 5 and 6. It will get to about -15 F here once in a while.
Stark Brothers is a Missouri nursery and I think Gurneys (spelling) is the other catalog that has Paw-paws. I threw out all my old seed catlogs several months ago.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Discussed Paw-Paws with a local nursery man today. He said that they grow wild in low (swampy) areas and under a tree canopy.

According to that map, I am in 5a and they will grow and produce here if protected. Not sure how you would get a tree imported. Remember your nuts
