Pawpaw Disappointment

I was disappointed today. I drove an hour to the N.C. Pawpaw Festival only to discover that they were out of everything, food samples and pawpaws. I arrived at 10:40 a.m., only 40 minutes after the festival began. Festival hours were 10-1. So, I still have yet to taste a pawpaw. I have been watching the one fruit hanging on my parent's tree closely. I hope it makes it. It's only about 3" tall and 1" in diameter--very small. My family and I will have to split it. I hope to get the nine asimina triloba trees in my yard to produce soon. The picture is of the one little pawpaw.
