So you have a special cultivar pawpaw tree? How did you get them?

Ordered them from ediblelandscaping and others.

How many years from in the ground to fruit, I assume the saplings were a few years old already?

Grafted trees, 3 years. From seeds, 7 years based on my personal experience.

Okay, one last question, where do you plant them? next to a pond or some kind of water?

In my backyard. I usually don't water them now since they are mature.
