Of the maybe hundred flowers that I hand pollinated, maybe a dozen clusters are present and some of those might fall off. If these all develop into fruit, that will be very cool, but I'm happy with just a few. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I think you have to pollinate about ten times the number of flowers, as fruits that you hope will form. Also, I don't know whether morning or evening is better, or if it matters.

Pawpaws, Will They or Won't They?. 5.14.19
These are clusters of pawpaws forming on the varieties NC-1 and Sunflower. I can't say for certain which tree has more. I've had tiny pawpaws fall off at this stage, but they are starting to look promising.
