I have plenty of info on my blog about Che Oregon Exotics. This post summarizes all: Gardening : Oregon Exotics Che (Zhe) trees, foliage, fruit production, and processing.

I also have small trees of Chul-Ri, Huang-Kum #3 and #4. These haven’t fruited yet for me.

I can only speak on the few of those pawpaws you mentioned. My golden moon tree produced for the first time last year(planted spring 2020). Fruit was unimpressive, but it was its first year producing. A good handful of these selections have been lost to time. Makes you wonder why.
There are a lot of newer and better tasting pawpaw cultivars out there.

KSU may have scion of some of those if you ask really nicely they might send you some.

Heres a picture of Golden moon(might end up topworking this tree if the fruit quality doesnt improve this fall)

Kathy James at Nash Nurseries has told me that Fulbright’s Delight was named after Dennis Fulbright of MSU (but not “affiliated” with MSU) and that it’s late ripening (mid-to-late Oct in MI). I’m not sure if that means it’s a Nash release or something Dennis was doing on the side.

Super Mario was from Nash Nurseries as well. This was their description on it…
“Named after our great friend and lead grafter Mario. This tree is one of his
favorite trees selected from his orchard. It is a very large fruit with a very
sweet flavor and spiced aroma. It has proven to be unique with the fruit
gradually ripening throughout the harvest season. A truly super pawpaw!”

My golden moon died after a year and Blake didn’t offer it for very long on his site. I’m not sure if he phased it out or renamed it? Here’s his old description on it from archive.org.

I suspect he phased it out in favor of better cultivars. Just kind of ok imo.
I’d love to see photos of Super Mario. It kind of surprised me when I spoke to someone at Nash last fall and they told me that all pawpaws pretty much taste the same….pretty disappointing to hear from them. Another thing I don’t understand is the lack of photos of these improved cultivars, it only takes a moment to take a picture.

I know this isn’t exactly on topic, and is pretty random. I got a recommendation on one of my topics to contact you, as you may be able to tell me where to buy mango scions from? I don’t know ho to message you here, since I’m new on this forum.
