We are quite dry, though not as bad as over the mountains in NC.
During our last drought a few years ago, I noticed that pawpaws still set
and ripened a sizeable crop, without discernable fruit drop. I failed to
mulch our trees this year, but still a good crop of normal fruit with no
supplemental water.

Any observations on the drought resistance of established pawpaws in your
areas?
