Thank you Dave, the Paw Paw tree is about four years old from a seedling I got at one of the ETRU's.
It is in partial shade at the Fielder house butterfly garden, I doubt that it will ever make fruit, but I planted it as butterfly larval food anyway.

Mitch, I am so glad that the word has spread, I am doing my best to keep all the gardens looking good, but this heat makes it very difficult even if you can water, I just got back from doing the Fielder house garden, it took me three hours to get it done.
We don't sprinkle and the garden is on a hill, I think the hill must be all sand because the water just disappears as soon as you pour it on, so it takes a lot of patience.

Staci, I am sorry you won't be able to make the Texoma RU, it is such a lovely place.
