paw paw pollinator

Brad Wellington Point starts with ... Hi I have a yellow and red paw paw bought as bisexual. both are about 1 year old and throw heaps of flowers and then small fruits which drop off. Flowers are all female and it is pretty clearly a pollination problem. My questions are - do I now buy another bisexual and hope it can pollinate them; or wait to see if the trees develop male flowers as well; or plant another seedling and hope it is male? I have room limitations and can probably only fit one more tree. thanks	About the Author Brad Wellington Point Wellington Point Qld 2nd October 2017 9:14am #UserID: 16977 Posts: 1 View All Brad Wellington Point's Edible Fruit Trees

Mike Tr says... The names are both correct and in fact the Annonaceae paw paw was named due to its papaya resemblance. Both papaya and paw paw are very old names and neither are incorrect even if papaya is the American standard these days.
