I have been growing Pawpaws from seed for a few years now. The seedlings are doing okay, but they have been very slow growing. Last year I ordered and planted three seedling trees from a nursery that were between three and four feet tall. This spring, to my amazement, one of them actually flowered. I fully expected that nothing would come of it, knowing that Pawpaws need proper cross-pollination. With that said, it has been a couple weeks since petal-fall, and I have a dozen fruitlets still hanging, and more importantly so far, growing on the tree. I hope that they keep going! Anyone ever have a single Pawpaw flower and still produce fruit?

That is good news. You may have a self-fruitful pawpaw just like Sunflower. It could be a Sunflower seedling.

That looks like a pretty good fruit set if they stick. My neighbor has a couple that are close 15+ feet high and he doesn’t get a whole lot more fruit setting per tree. Congratulations.

Congrats. One of my two pawpaws flowers but nothing to cross pollinated it with. After 3 years, they still about 2 ft tall.

What ever came of this? Did you end up getting any fruit? I planted some paw paw seedlings that were specially grown in root maker pots this year. It had 5 blooms on it. They all opened and dropped, but one. I took a picture of it today:

You welcome…
Anything can happen but that cluster has the right-angle to the trunk/branch which typically means pollination was successful!
