I agree with Jerry. Attractants probably would just attract insects to the attractant. I used to hand pollinate many of my pawpaw flowers. I've noted on my large planting and even on isolated plantings of only a couple of trees that nature takes care of pollination needs.

I have used cottonseed meal under my pawpaw trees and it does attract the

I know that hand-pollenation works, and the material I've read comments
anecdotially about using roadkill for encouragement of pollenators, but
does
anyone here have other ideas or have used roadkill (I'd likely just use
scraps of chicken) and know that it works?

Thanks
