My Mate and I have separate Pawpaw tree orchards, (mine is more of a Triloba Jungle along the river.) She loves the Atwood variety. She claims it’s fruit is not only a beautiful Robin’s egg blue color, but that it’s delicious fruit also has a lovely floral Boquet smell as well. (She is a connoisseur of fine wines, what can I say, terroir and all that.) However, I can personally attest to the Atwood’s precocity; mine bloom at around 4 feet tall, and bloom they do! But her Atwoods cannot compete with the blooms of my “Sunflower” Pawpaw trees. I showed her your posts and she thinks it is the "Atwood’ Vigor. She wishes for you to allow that Atwood tree to grow and rain down delicious, beautiful Robin’s egg blue, floral boquett smelling Pawpaws upon you. And in parting, we both wish for Peace to be upon you as well Brother, or Sister.

In case it is of any interest to you and you do not possess the info., the She-wolf just gave me some Intell from her records that I did not have; The ancestral line of KSU’ Atwood’ can be traced back to an open pollinated seed collected by Peterson from the mother tree BEF-49,( Blandy Experimental Farm) in her home state of Virginia. Has 27 `Brix! 
Vigorous with strong natural right-angled scaffold branching, responds well to pruning: fruit thinning can increase fruit size. High yielding , so rain down they very well may!

Thank you @Osteen thats new information to me. The BEF must of had some real winners growing there. I know several of Neals varieties are seedlings of one or more of the BEF trees.
