Pawpaw Varieties

@Beetree Is that Split Milk? I received one really good looking piece of SM scion, and I just lopped off the top of a mature pawpaw for it.

@weatherandtrees Neal’s Nameless was an unlabeled grafted pawpaw that Neal Peterson directly sold to Ken, who is insistent that it’s not any of the known Peterson pawpaws. Several on this forum have tried it, including two licensed Peterson nursery owners (both of which liked it), who are also a bit stumped because they don’t think it is any of the Peterson pawpaws, hence the name.

Ohio #1 is mine. It really probably should be 1-1, because it’s the first in row 1. It’s a mild pawpaw similar to Shenandoah maybe with a bit more grain texture.

Sunsprout - is a suspected Sunflower seedling. Mellow flavor similar to sunflower.

Carmelo - More of the caramel flavor you’d associate with darker fleshed or richer pawpaws like Susquehanna but less strength.

Cherimo West and Garage West are not the same. Garage West is more coconutty. Cherimo West is more cherimoya like.
