Paw paws grow down there?
   I know they grow up here in Iowa. Used to have wild ones down by the crick..  two problems with them.. the fruit does not stay ripe long, and they smell like rotting meat, the blooms are pollinated by flies, wasps etc, not bees..  Uncle used to hang animal carcases among them to get better pollination..  The fruit are exceptionally delicious though.

My Loquat trees are coming into full bloom now.  I only wish I could include the delicate fragrance in the forum together with these pictures.




It was a bit overcast and windy (we had some nice rains shortly after the photos were taken) so the bees weren't out in full force, only one got included in one of the shots.
