In April my parents' pawpaw patch was full of blooms and some tiny fruitlets. Unfortunately, by May the little fruitlets had all disappeared, and the flowering ceased. The trees were absolutely beautiful, but without fruit. Today I decided to look one more time, and guess what I found. One, little, lovely fruit swaying in the breeze. Wow! Quick as lightening, I scampered up the tree and wrapped the one remaining fruit in netting. Maybe I'll get to eat a pawpaw after all. If not, perhaps the netting will catch the large seeds so I can plant them.
