| We have mountain paw paws growing easily in central Wellington They self seed easily from the fallen fruits and I have to keep weeding out the seedlings. The fruit is not very nice to eat, however - much stronger than a tropical paw paw - but the ornamental effect is pretty. We have one pawpaw over 15 metres high (the winds recently got a couple of others.) |

| It should be. I've got an old Growing Today mag I got in some packing recently that has an article by Kay Baxter on growing a sub tropical orchard which is very informative. It was the march '97 issue & it's got a picture of a proper tropical pawpaw amongst the fruit. Subtropica sell the proper paw paw trees as well. |
