Richard,

Others have asked me that question - I have no good answer.  Most of my 12 trees were ones I selected from the wild along creek bottoms in a 4 county area around here.  My "Ebert" tree starts to drop fruit about 3 days before the others - usually about August 20 - it gets the longest direct sun - about 10am until dark.  All of the trees still have 15-30 fruit on them.  One year the last couple fruit dropped during an October 2 rainstorm, but usually the season ends about Sept 24.

Jim,
   How do you get such a long ripening season?

One week left to pawpaw season here west of Winston-Salem, NC.  Season started early, 2nd week of August, perhaps due to high temps and drought.  Will end right on time, 3rd week of September - fruit quality has been outstanding.
