    They have those purple flowers that hang downward, right?

    I’ve seen some pawpaw saplings in pots before, but maybe I should have gotten a closer look, haha! I guess that doesn’t necessarily translate to how they’ll look in the wild. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to get the smell down at some point, haha!

      Here’s a few more things to look out for. They are fine growing in shade. They usually are in groups (clonal colonies, technically) unlike some similar looking trees. Deer don’t eat them, so they do really well in areas with an overabundance of deer that eat all their competition.
