I once walked with fellow fruit-nut friend Stuart Wilson through a pawpaw 
experimental seedling orchard at the Wye Station on the eastern shore of 
Maryland.  We sampled fallen fruit.  We couldn't tell ANY difference in 
taste/quality 
of the flesh from tree to tree.  I admit though, that our taste buds were 
saturated 
quickly, and we didn't use anything to "clear our palates" between trees.
