Guess this fruit

Dave, I just received my third Pawpaw. First time ordering from England's Orchard & Nursery in KY >> http://www.nuttrees.net/pawpaw.html<<. I picked up a Chappell variety which Kentucky State U. Researchers released recently - supposed to be really fruity and tropical. I have to admit, the little (grafted) tree looks outstanding.
KSU Chappell™ HI 4-1 - A very vigorous grower, A 10-year-old tree produces in excess of 50 fruit per tree, very fruity with many tropical notes in the complex flavor profile that is delicious and very desirable to consume, we cannot say enough good things about this cultivar recently released by KSU and named 20th Sept. 2018. Sizes; Small and Medium

 

Pretty sure that’s an Osage Orange

 

Hope it does well for you. My leaves are just turning yellow on my trees. How was the root system on that plant they sold you? I have been looking for a Kentucky Champion but they are tough to find.

 

I looked it up, same thing.

 

I think you can eat?

 

Dave, I saw the Kentucky Champion variety in the on-line catalog of that same nursery: http://www.nuttrees.net/pawpaw.html .

Kentucky Champion ™ - is the "Big Daddy" of the Pawpaw Forest. This tree is remarkably resilient. Responds well to grafting. It's a good candidate for climates that are challenged for growing-degree-days (like southern England and northern Europe). The champion tree is the earliest bearing cultivar of all commercially available pawpaw trees. Fruits ripen between 2,483 and 2,845 standard growing degree days. They are large and tasty averaging about 230 grams. The seed-to-pulp ratio is good (about 8.3%). The skin is attractive and durable; it resists dark spots, bruising and other discoloration. The pulp is firm and golden-orange in color with a melon-orange flavor and pleasant lingering aftertaste. It's sweet with a subtle tartness that's been likened to pineapple or raspberry. The tree appears to be self-fertile.
$2.00 royalties fee per tree Sizes: S, M

I don't know if any are still available, though.

 

Thanks, I think I will contact them and see if I can reserve one for spring. I don’t want to risk planting it now. We just started getting freezes overnight,

 

Post some pictures of your trees!

 

These things have some serious tropical leaves. These are over 13 inches.

 

This tree is a sunflower variety. It grew the best this year. Started a little over a foot. Now 4 1/2 feet high. Pretty good for one season.
