You may be correct Becky. I forgot I had obtained a series of fairly recent cultivars. Yes, the blooms have me smiling. I am so hopeful of a blooming bumper season. There are buds popping up everywhere.
I will do rust scores on the new ones after they have done a bit of a run, too. I am a bit puzzled at the moment. Some of my regular fairly rust resistant ones such as King Lamoni, Old Tangiers and Milanese Mango went through a bad period of rust this autumn. I have had them for decades and I was quite flabbergasted. They are starting to look okay again. I am suspicious I might have got a new strain through.
Sharon, those lovely, delicious pawpaws you saw in the photo got eaten by flying-foxes last night. I had thought they would be okay because the bats only pick up the smell of fairly ripe fruit. So today I put up some protection. I haven't the faintest whether or not it will work.
