Re: [nafex] Pawpaw seedlings - true to parent?

I also have grown some of John Gordon's SSA seedlings. They were pretty good but, alas, I've tired of the taste of pawpaws and rarely eat one. I know of a number of people with similar experience.

I have not yet tasted any of Neal Peterson's selections, which everyone raves about. I have some grafts; they flower but never fruit because of pawpaw peduncle borers. Do they really TASTE substantially better or different from some of the othe named selections?
