Hello ~mIEKAL,

Pawpaws are not dioecious Each flower has male and female parts. However in 
each flower the anthers release pollen after the receptive period of the 
stigma is completed. Also generally the egg and pollen on the same tree are 
not compatible. Two genetically different trees are needed for successful 
pollination.

This is what I get for trusting what I read on the internet, countless
sites list pawpaw as dioecious.  C'est la vie.

All of my pawpaws are from the same seedling stock that I got from
John Gordon called PA Golden.  So you are suggesting that since I get
fruit that my seedlings are not all from the same parent?
