What kind of paw paw are these?

I don't know-I just bought half a pawpaw from the fruit shop, dried the seeds out & planted them. It was a orange oval shaped one.

Pawpaw - Bisexual and Female (Seedling) ^7/10

These trees have been grown from seeds taken of fruits from the market.  I used long bisexual fruits.  I renew these plants every few years.  They are quick growing and productive but the winter wind in Perth make them bold in winter.  They come back in Spring though and the fruits are nice in Spring and Summer.  I now keep both bisexual and female plants.  The female is gigantic with about 20 side branches!  I thought they were meant to be single stemmed.
