Pete,
What you describe sounds like A.parviflora to me. I've never knowingly
seen flag pawpaw (A.reticulata, I think) - I think it's more of a south
GA/FL species.
If you're going to attempt A.triloba down there you may be better off going
with some of the more Southern selections, like Mango(GA), Collins(GA),
and the Duckworth(FL) series.
I don't know how chilling hours enter into the equation for the
northern/midwestern pawpaw selections, but Kirk Pomper at KYSU may have
some insight on that.
