Excuse my ignornace, but pawpaws are ripe when they drop?  I've got a pair of ripe pawpaw fruit for the first time ever, but I really doubt they'll ripe before the freezes...

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.
