I have been checking on the Ringwood patch weekly ever since you pointed it out to me. Most of the low hanging fruits have gone but I found one on the ground, already rotting untouched. I took the 5 seeds out of it, are they going to be any good? I’m having second thoughts about growing a patch, apparently paw paw are pollinated by flies and beetles instead of bees, probably not that great to have close to home, maybe if I had a bigger property…I caught my first fruit from my home Pawpaw patch. Not huge but very tasty. First year for fruit on this tree so they may be larger eventually…
I’ve been waiting 5 years for this. 🙂
The nylon bag was key to catch the fruit before the rodents. 🐿
You can tell someone tried to claw it out of the bag but the nylon was too dense to make it an easy steal so they must have given up. 👍

The seeds are probably fine as long as they didn’t dry out.I have been checking on the Ringwood patch weekly ever since you pointed it out to me.

We have enough mosquitos as it, courtesy of the neighbor’s wannabe-koi pond!The seeds are probably fine as long as they didn’t dry out.
Flies and beetles pollenate pawpaws, yes.
Their natural habitat is low land along stream banks so I guess that’s how they adapted.
I’m five doors down from a pond/stream so flies and beetle are here either way. They don’t bother me.
They flower around the end of April, early May.
If it was mosquitos that pollenated them… 🔥 🌳 🔥
I didn't really like the smell but that taste was delicious. I'm thinking to start a new patch in a secret location somewhere in the Ringwood Forest...About 1.5 lbs of fruit dropped this morning from my one fruiting tree.
I don’t know if I can eat all of these in the next couple of days but ima try.
Within seconds of bringing these in, my house smells super tropical. 🏝

Maybe the Ringwood patch produces juicy fruits that smell like ass? I've only tasted 2 of them, I showed them around at JORBAFest and made a new Paw Paw fan boy that ended up picking up a few, I was told families were leaving the greenhouse with shopping bags full of them...Really?
They smell like juicy fruit. Who doesn’t like the smell of juicy fruit?! 😁

Oil the eyes and they’ll be ripe in less than a week. It sounds crazy but it works!Some late-ripening figs on our one in-ground plant!
The droopy ones are ready to eat - the rest probably won't make it.
Will trim the plant this weekend.

Fine, you oil the fig sphincter if you prefer, I will continue to oil the eye. 😆we did that - and that's how we got those to droop!
amazing trick.
ps - looks like the butt to me,
