Does this have another name? I’ve never heard of a green persimmon, other than black sapote I guess (Diospyros digyna), but those leaves don’t look like black sapote.

It’s not that green sapote… 
It’s Diospyros Roxburghii…

Were those NA Pawpaws pollinated by nature or by hand?

By nature. I don’t polinate anything by hand.

That’s awesome! I have two mature NA Pawpaw trees with flowers on them this year. This is the second year for flowers. I will not leave it to nature, I am going to try to hand pollinate because I have waited too many years to have pawpaws from my own trees!

Here the polinators are beetles, ants and fies…

Lol, yes, I have many pollinators, but I can not leave it to chance this year! I do not hand pollinate 99% of my fruit… but these pawpaws, no I must not leave it to chance!

Maybe I will try that too, thanks! I have read that others hang meat from the tree. Might try the carcass of a chicken too.
