alwazeroom4more, The Pawpaw,Asimina triloba doesn't have a separate male and female plant.It's the way the flowers are timed to be fertile that causes them to need another variety to produce fruit.The Sunflower variety is about the only one I've heard to be self fertile. There are other species related to Asimina triloba (Asimina incarna, A. longifolia, A. obovata, A. parviflora, A. pygmaea, A. reticulata, A. tetramera, A. X nashii)that grow more in the Southeastern US.Asimina Triloba requires about 400 chill hours. I have some seedlings,three varieties of A.triloba,but not sure if they are compatible in your zone. Oregon Grape also grows around here in abundance. Brady

Yep. Have only one, but it thrives. Sadly, it only blooms in spring but is evergreen. It does need support.

Anything to be seen on the underside of the leaves? Nice blurry pictures....any chance of some sharper images?

I am so sorry, I didn't receive the notification that you had responded. Are you still trying to get rid of it?
