Another wrinkle on the ‘roadkill’ thing – and I’m
just sort of ‘stream of consciousness’ thinking, here… Yes, I would suspect that if you had fresh roadkill, the carrion
flies might well be attracted to the attractant and ignore the pawpaw flowers
altogether – but if you placed the roadkill or a dead cow(seems like I
remember Donna Hudson telling of a particularly heavy pawpaw crop one year when
there was a cow that had died during the previous winter near the pawpaw patch)
well in advance of anticipated bloom time, perhaps you could come closer to
assuring a ready supply of potential pollenators are ready to work when the
blossoms open. Timing could be the key. Just a thought… Lucky Pittman Hopkinsville, KY |
