PawPaws are not for zone 11. They require at least 900 chill hours. But remember, in zone 11 you get ALL of their relatives, so why one could complain? (Biriba, Ilama, Soursop, Sweetsop, Cherimoya, Custard Apple, Atemoya, etc)
When you know nothing you have to ask.

You've given me a start, the internet will provide more information.

I have a family of ten to feed and would like to have enough to provide to the poorer families in our Barrio.

We will be planting a large variety of fruit trees here but bananas give us a quick start in production.

Thanks again.
