Re: [nafex] are Prolific pawpaws slow to bear or is Overleese fast?

["Gordon Nofs" <gc_nofs@hotmail.com>]

I have not found any significant difference in pawpaws producing of the 21 
varieties that I have that are producing thus far.
   I only find that the ripening time varies. From Oct 1st till about Oct. 
24 here in my zone 5  Flint, MI

I have a Prolific pawpaw I planted maybe 6 years ago and an Overleese 
planted three years ago.  The Overleese has a few blossom buds going into 
this winter, but the Prolific never has.  The Prolific is much larger (6+ ft 
vs. 3+ ft) and is in identical soil & sun.  The complicating factor is the 
Prolific was broken its first winter and, although it looked like the new 
growth was above the graft, I didn't discover the problem until later and 
wasn't absolutely certain the growth was above the graft.  I now wonder if 
what I think is a Prolific is actually a "seedling", explaining the delay.
