Pawpaws are all in the same genus, Asimina, but there are different
species, and, I presume, different strains or races within a particular
species. The KYSU pawpaw site(www.pawpaw.kysu.edu) is probably the best
website for pawpaw info. Dirr discusses the Asimina species to some extent
in his 'Manual of Woody Landscape Plants'.

>I guess the good ones are graftable onto these?
I've got an A.parviflora(dwarf pawpaw) selection from Alabama grafted onto
A.triloba rootstock here, and it has (so far) survived 2 or 3 Kentucky
winters.

I've had decent success doing simple whip graft with dormant scions just
after the rootstock begins pushing leaves.
