One factor is winter survival another is enough heat to ripen. I put in a
Meader persimmon last April and due to coolest summer in 80 (according to a
local vegetable farm) it did not leaf out until August and then was shocked
by 22 deg on Sept 23. I hesitate to try pawpaws as summers are relatively
cool here on a general NE slope in the woods. Due to lack of our usual
thaws and winter rains we have had the most snow accumulation I recall
since 1969. I have not pruned but a nearby NAFEX friend reported he just
did his trees on snowshoes getting a new perspective looking down on them.
