    South Carolina. I missed the fruiting season for paw paws this year but I’ll be back next year

      Keep in mind that there will often be no fruit. Pawpaws spread in monoclonal colonies, and a colony can’t pollinate itself. I live surrounded by many pawpaw groves, but only a few actually make fruit. Supposedly you can spray the trees down with fish emulsion to attract the flies that pollinate them, but that still only helps if you have 2 non-clones next to each other

      Ah ok, cool! Sorry you missed the season though.

      Supposedly it was kind of a rough season for them here in Ohio. Early frosts and whatnot. Might be a bit better there.

      Hope you’re able to get some fruit next year!
