I've not purposely checked any of the wild trees around the farm, but have
not noticed any fruits hanging in any I've passed by in the truck or on
horseback while doing chores.  The young select seedlings & graftlings I
have planted in a low-lying area alongside my driveway bloomed and set a few
hands of fruit this year - but I noticed earlier this week that they'd
aborted  their fruits - probably during the 10-day stretch of 100+ degree
days we had earlier this month.  Last report I heard was that we were 15+
inches below normal for rainfall.

Pawpaw suffered late freezes here too, and now we're in a semi drought.
Pawpaw patches only have a couple fruits. I do have a few fruit set in my
garden. But I've been watering my trees to keep them from dropping fruit.

Hi Jim,

You mean if anyone has some. Our late freeze froze 99.9% of all the
developed fruits. After, there were some late blossoms. Due to poor
pollination, lack of pollen, what fruits there are, are small. 

Yesterday I talked with Ron Powell, Pres. North American Pawpaw Growers
Assoc. the story is the same all over. 

He is 9 inches behind YTD rainfall. Here in west central Indiana we are 12
inches behind. Pawpaws will be scarce!

Jerry
