Pawpaw pollination is worth knowing something about. Now these are truly strange trees. Two trees are
needed for cross-pollination. Their favorite pollinator is the green bottle fly. Some growers have gone to great lengths to attract this shy creature. One noteworthy method is to place rotten hamburger in buckets around the tree for a few weeks before bloom to build up the fly colony. Whew! Must be a better way! (Also hand pollinate using small brushes to transfer pollen between trees).
