paw paw trees for ornamental value

Hey everyone. I am interested in putting a paw paw tree in my yard. I am doing my research before fall arrives and I start doing some planting. I am adding a sweet bay magnolia and white fringe to my yard. I am looking to add one more tree and am thinking of a paw paw. I understand how the whole more than one tree for fruit thing works. But I am more interested in it’s ornament value. It is native to me in zone 7a Philadelphia but I haven’t seen any around ( I think it underused) it is a host plant for some insects which is what I am into. I’d love to see pictures of mature specimens. Are they as uniform and full as google images makes them out to be ? How’s their hardiness. Please post your pictures !
