Hi, Jon. I believe they're hardy enough to be grown here where I live in
the Okanagan, so I don't see why they couldn't be grown on the coast.
There is a man in Duncan who sells all sorts of interesting tropical and
sub-tropical plants, and pawpaws are on his list:

http://www.tropic.ca/index.htm

The pawpaw page isn't displaying properly because of a mimetype error --
I'm about to e-mail the guy about it -- but it does mention 'Wilson', a
cultivar that ripens well in the cool summers of the coast.

You'll need at least two trees -- a male and a female, and be careful
about placement, because (1) they apparently sucker like mad; that's why
they always say pawpaw *patch*, and (2) they're fly-pollinated, so the
flowers smell a bit fetid.

Hope this helps!
Paul
