Default Re: First Paw Paw fruit coming!!

So far I see 2 flower buds...may be more starting on other tree.
Been reading up on this & I'm disappointed now. Says it must be pollinated from another tree & it must be a different variety! I don't know what variety I have. It also said that they don't always grow true from seed...fruits may be poor quality. The guy I got them from grew them from seed.
And, the flower is both male & female but not self fertile. Male is first then female to get pollen from. I will brush up pollen & save it in fridge untill I see a flower on the other tree with the stigma ready. Seems that's all I can do & worth a try.
I WANT PAW PAW FRUITS whaaaaaa
