--- Quote ---How rare is self-fertility in pawpaws? I've got two seedlings of either Sunflower or Prima 1216 (the seller couldn't tell me which was which) and one of them flowered this spring for the first time (at 6 years old, I believe). I did some hand-pollination on itself, as the other tree didn't flower and voila, I had 12 fruits this year. There isn't a single pawpaw tree anywhere near, so I'm totally positive that it's self-fertile. So have I hit jackpot, or is this more common than I think?

Nothing? I was hoping there would be more excitement about this, as self-fertility isn't a common occurrence in pawpaws as far as I know. I should also mention that in my climate (similar to NorCal 9b, but with higher summer lows and lower winter lows), they were ripening at the end of August. Seems pretty early.
