Thanks for the replies.
Let us know how the fruit is, Lawrence. Having done some more reading and 
poking around online, it seems that there is (unsurprisingly) a lot of 
variation in size and flavor. I’d like to get a hold of the best material I 
can.
How do your fruits size up, Richard, and how is the flavor. It sounds like 
you are at elevation there, especially with the vines emerging so late. A 
YouTuber (author of recent pawpaw book) in Tenn. says his usually emerge in 
May, but have come up as early as March for him!How many frost free days are 
typical at your place? Probably harder to guesstimate, and even more site 
dependent, but do you any idea how many growing degree days you have? Just 
trying to get a sense how our climates compare. Offhand, I’d say we’re not 
THAT MUCH different based on your brief description.

We live in the S. Appalachian Mountains, where *record* daytime highs oft
in the low 90s, where most summer temps in 80s/60s.  This week is 70s/50s.

Our P. incarnata don't typically sprout until July, when soil temps warm
enough.  We train them up the NE side of our house, and this microclimate
allows them to ripen in Oct, outside.  They are surprisingly frost
resistant.  And a great native bumblebee food source.

Glad to send you some seed/root cuttings, if you remind me (more than
once?) during dormant season,
Richard Moyer

This list will remain available to all who want to use it.

I have some wild maypops fruiting out at the edge of a wooded area on my
property. It has been here for decades and always seems to come back each
year.
When it is ripe I will try it.
