This is the fifth year in the garden and still no sign of fruit. The growth is excellent and the tree is about ten feet tall. Much growth from the 2011 photos.

This is the fourth year for these two trees, which were about five years old bare roots when planted. I am hoping for fruit this year, but see no evidence of buds. One is in partial shade and the other is in full sun. Both are thriving.
http://www.durgan.org/URL/?TTXLQ 27 May 2010 American Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) Two trees are in the garden, planted three years ago, purchase with about three years of growth. Both appear to be doing well this year. There are many more leaves showing. One tree is in partial shade during part of the day, and the other is in full Sun.

"Asimina triloba pawpaw to which you are referring, this species is monoecious, meaning it has separate male and female flowers which both occur on the same plant. In this case, the flowers may be developing at different times, so the plant isn't capable of self-fertilization. This is common strategy among monoecious plants. In others, the pollen must come from a different tree of the same species."
One reason for the phrase PawPaw Patch
