When I had pawpaws in Illinois I grafted 1-2 additional varieties on the tree. Partly for space saving and partly for pollination. For awhile I hand pollinated, eventually the flowers were out of reach but by then there were enough flowers to attract some flies and they pollinated OK.
Karen if you are in Oregon in the Willamette Valley you might want to concentrate on earlier varieties. Are you aware of the pawpaw at the Germplasm repository at Corvallis?
