When i was growing up we called those upland pawpaw because they grow in more diverse upland conditions in nature. Naturally what we called lowland pawpaw were much larger and would grow where there is water in the bottoms. In my area uplands grow in the lowland because of the nature of how Kansas weather is. The lowland i think can be acclimated here but it will take time. Great looking fruits once you taste a home grown pawpaw nothing else will do. My trees are growing like weeds now Pawpaw in Kansas - it's a lot of work but can be done!
