According to the map in "Trees in Canada" the native range of pawpaw in 
Michigan extends north to roughly the latitude of Lake St. Clair, and 
along the Lake Michigan shore roughly to about the latitutde of Grand 
Rapids, with a small outlying population a few miles more or less west 
of Saginaw.

Possibly the Michigan Nut Growers Association might be abe to provide 
more information:
