Wow, I've never heard of those. They had me at fermentation. I wonder how a couple buckets would ferment out as a beverage or as the base for distillation? Really cool!

Jealous! I planted a few at an old rental about 6 years back, but have since left and feel weird sneaking back to see if there's any fruit

My kind of thread!
I have a huge stand of Pawpaw trees up the road from me,and every year I try to get fruits, but it's to no avail. Last year I manged to get one right before a dang squirrel got to it.
I have also tried everything to dig up suckers and transplant them at my house as well, and although I can get them to root, they never survive the winter.
I do have one single tree that survived the winter, but it's tiny and only has one set of leaves. It just wont grow.
Which reminds me, i need to get back out soon,and dig up some more. I'm going to get these to grow in my yard if it freaking kills me!
Anybody got any tips on how to keep these alive after transplanting them?

They actually have the texture of custard, hence a another name for them, the Custard Banana 
I plan to battle those damn squirrels for a few this season, the cultivar here is so delicious

They should germinate from seed pretty regularly if you're able to fend off the squirrels!
That being said, I think I've read they can take 8+ years to begin producing and are trioecious (male, female, and hermaphroditic flowers) and can only be pollinated from other trees. So, ya know, plant 100
Zifozonke: They are in the the same family as Custard Apples, Annonaceae

Hey thanks Dan
I did mange to get a few seeds last year,and I planted them in my garden bed to over winter. They never did sprout though. Next time I'll throw them in the fridge.
I need to try and get some more tree growing in my yard though, so I can have a good supply of fruit, I just love em!

They require a chilling period, so be sure to give them proper treatment!

Thanks for that link 
I totally would have only kept them in for a month or so, like I do my Apple/Pear/Plum seeds, but it appears that these need a lot longer chilling time to break dormancy.

My pawpaw seedlings just came up, pumped to watch them grow over the next couple years. Been trying to find local trees but haven't had much luck.

I took a few pics today of the only stand of Asimina triloba I have ever seen in my area, so I don't think it is as common in my neck of the woods.

I know right! I sure felt like I was in a tropical rain forest today looking at them, that and the drenching humidity that we have here!

Yeah man, I need to do just that I can't get any seeds here, because the trees here either don't produce much fruit, or the squirrels get at them first. The variety here are really small, and are kind of hard to spot,and I only saw one fruit out of all the trees that I looked at. I might shake the trees and see if any will drop. I got one or two last season doing this.
