Tiny pawpaw hands does not necessarly mean set fruit

My Prolific pawpaw blossomed for the first time this year. One of the dogs
had just finished taking my much smaller, but ready to bloom, Overleese
pawpaw apart, so I didn't have another variety available to pollinate the
Prolific. I used pollen from old flowers to pollinate new flowers and now
have a number of tiny pawpaw hands hanging on the tree. Does this mean it
set fruit or is it too soon to know? I whip grafted a couple Overleese
scions high in the Prolific to avoid the dog problem in the future.
