How cool. I got a few pawpaw from Bob Wells also. I also ordered 9 more varieties of pawpaws from Hidden Springs Nursery that will be shipped end of this year. Like you, I haven't had a taste of pawpaw, but I have eaten Cherrimoya, Soursop – pawpaw cutup inside look like cherrimoya and soursops and I also detect the strong scent of pawpaw leaves that have similar scents to cherrimoya's and Soutsop leaves & bark.
Do you like the taste of the seedless Che?
We have lots growing in our woods in Northern Indiana. I'll try to find out the variety. They taste like a banana mixed with a bit of menthol taste. Weird but good. Really cool big leaves in the fall. They look awesom, almost tropical. They don't look like a typical native Indiana tree. But I think they are.
