On October 26, 2008, I bought four trees at the GCA Zone V Meeting for $40.00. I planted them in my yard and this is what they look like today, six years later.
Botanical name: Asimina tribola Common name: Pawpaw
It flowered for the first time this year, but has yet to fruit. It is native to southern parts of eastern North America.

Botanical name: Diospyros kaki Common name: Chinese Persimmon
This tree has been bearing fruit for three years. See below. I have no idea what to do with the fruit. Maybe I should give them to Serena.

The last two, above in a bed, are a Pseudocydonia sinensis (on the left) and a Magnolia cylindric (on the right). The magnolia bloomed for the first time last year with one flower and this year three. I am not sure about the Pseudocydonia -- it is supposed to have peeling, jigsaw like bark and bear fruit. I have seen neither. A deer did damage the trunk last year with his antlers.
