Please keep us informed of how they do in Zone 4, we'd like to try some too 
once we get our microclimates (a la Holzer) into place...

mIEKAL,

I had the great opportunity to taste several different varieties last summer 
at the NAFEX conference in Indiana last summer.  We toured the Purdue 
University research farm and also Jerry Lehman's farm.  Purdue has a large 
test plot with many different named and un-named pawpaw varieties.  Jerry has 
quite a few different varieties of pawpaws as well, though he had fewer ripe 
ones at his place.  It was my first time to taste a pawpaw as well (even 
though I've lived for 46 years in pawpaw's native range) and I was delighted. 
 But what surprised me more was how different the various varieties tasted 
from each other!  One tasted more tropical; another more custard-y.  The 
unnamed, unimproved variety I tasted did have a little bit of an after-taste. 
 Not completely unpleasant, but I did like the named varieties better.  I 
came home and immediately ordered 14 more named (grafted) varieties to add to 
the 2 I already had and started my own pawpaw
 patch!  I've also added about another 
 20 pawpaw trees there that are improved, but unnamed varieties and I 
intended to add at least 3 times that many over the next 2 years as I sprout 
the seeds I collected from other NAFEX members.  I have seed from improved 
varieties in KY, Louisiana, and Indiana.  These are seeds produced from 
breeding two different named varieties.  I went pawpaw crazy!  :-)  Good luck 
with your trees in Zone 4!

--Leslie (zone 6b or 7a)

At this point the seeds of all fruit that ripen here are being grown
out.  I should have some 2nd generation seedlings for sale (slightly
acclimated to zone 4) in the next year or two.
