      Oh wow, that’s so lucky. I’ve been on the hunt for ages. Pawpaws on the other hand, it’s like an orchard out there.

        Do you do anything to improve pollination? There are massive groves all around me, but since they are clonal colonies, they don’t self-pollinate, and I always have to hunt around for whatever groves actually got pollinated. I’ve read that some people will spray trees with fish emulsion to lure in flies.

          The patches I go to have grown big enough to pollinate among them. I guess eventually an “outsider” comes in and does it’s thing. But yeah some people will hang bags of meat etc. I’ve never tried it.
