>I may need to reconsider my pawpaw placement. They are still in pots so I could leave them there for a summer and see how they do. Funny, I just came back to suggest this about shade tolerance in general :). I have found it extremely useful, when exploring the limits of shade tolerance for various species, to have the plant in a largish pot that I can move around. Leave it here for a few weeks, then try it over there, etc. Sometime 5 feet makes a big difference. For things that grow tall (trees) you could even try putting the pot up on top of something to see how the plant likes the light up a little higher.
