Re: Gene's greenhouse NOW Sycamore

www.onegreenworld.com offers several pawpaws.
I'm looking at one of their persimmons for my NW corner. The clump birches are dying (borers) and I need something that will stay short, but screen the view into my neighbor's house. The fig I got from them several years ago produced fruit last summer.

One of their attractions for me was that they are the northernmost
members of their family. Mine are seedlings yet, but I have hopes....
Did not know of the U of K's program. Do  they have a description of
their efforts on the web?

I envy your ability to grow Asimina triloba, Cathy. It's one of the
very few Annonaceae that will not grow here. Do you know University
of Kentucky has a huge breeding program to make pawpaws
commercially viable fresh fruit?

I have also planted Lindera benzoin in an attempt to attract the
Spicebush swallowtail, Asimina triloba in an attempt to attract the
Zebra swallowtail, and Aristolochia durior to attract the Pipevine
swallowtail, but haven't observed any of them yet.
