Braveheart I planted some paw paw trees the first of January. I planted them becasue they are the host of the Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly nor of the fruit. I know you have to plant at least two to have fruit. I ordered 4 trees and was sent two extra. I have been told that the texture of a paw paw is like a custard and tastes somewhat like a banana. If you plant them and find these huge worms on the leaves please don't kill them. They are the caterpiller of the Zebra Swallowtail.

I have never grown kiwi but know it has been grown with some success in the Dothan area. Grapes are also grown all around me but I don't know the type. Good luck on your venture.

Man and boy I been eating grapes of many varieties for 70+ years and I never ate a better tasting grape than the muscadine unless it is the bronze variety called scuppernong. They also make excellent wine and jelly.
I'd be very surprized if the Concord didn't thrive in central Alabama. It's probably the most common grape grown in North Alabama. Zone 7.
I've never eaten a paw paw and had no success growing them. I ordered two from Gurneys. They lived the first year and died the second. I dug up three wild ones. None lived. Gave up.
