I live near Beaumont and have several small paw paw trees.
Two are named varieties from a place in Kentucky and one is a clump of
seedlings I just dug up that originated from near the Sabine river here in
Texas. They are a long way from bearing.
When in the spring do yours bud out?
When in the fall do yours bear?
How do you rate the flavor?

I chose Bud 9 as the primary dwarfing stock for my nursery due to winter
hardiness, survivability, yield efficiency, and fruit size. Apparantly it is
also more resistant to collar rot :
"Compared to M.9, B.9 is . . . even more resistant to collar rot."
U of Kentucky, Dwight Wolfe, Gerald R. Brown, John Strang and Terry Jones http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/ho/ho82/ho82.htm
A perhaps minor discrepancy is that the U of Kentucky quote above states
that B9 is "more resistant to collar rot when, by the U of W Virginia
definition below, collar rot is a disease of the "scion portion of the
tree". Apparently, the two terms are used interchangeably by some, I believe
it is the same disease though, just a different term for the area affected.
