I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

@KathyB at least birds and bugs leave on the tree..these dam monkeys take the whole fruit and leave ZILTCH of a taste for the owners. Hubby says he has not even tasted the Paw Paw.

@KathyB how long did it take to grow to this point? I'm trying to grow dwarf varieties from seed....

@drnicko This one was from seed given to me by a friend so I can't be entirely sure it IS the dwarf its meant to be! It's 5 years old, 2 living in a 15cmish pot before it escaped through the drain holes and took off ;)
