My brother-in-law's plant bears 22 fruits in total, located near Lake Constance.

As he wasn't at home either, I decided not to take one with me.

There are also 2 trained military 

German shepherds everywhere.

I felt like Thomas Magnum and so I left it, I didn't want any trouble with Higgins, no with Urs.

Yes, Jonathan.

The two pretty ones.

The one with the darker coat is Chilli, the other is Joy.

Cute! Maybe only part German shepherds though. 

Good luck with the Asimina, that's a tree I've always wanted to grow, but hard to find down here. I've heard they are fairly slow growing?

Yes, Jonathan. According to Urs, Chilli is a purebred Dutch dog (service dog line) and is 11 years old. Good breeding programs are found in Germany, Austria, and of course the Netherlands, mainly KNPV lines.
It just depends on what exactly you want to do, etc.
Joy is 4 years old and not purebred, but partly a street dog.
His tree is 4 years old and bore fruit from the second year, which is relatively early, according to him.
Apparently, he says, it grows well in our climate, better than expected, according to him. He got the tree from a local gardening company that specializes in growing trees and delivers to many countries in Europe.
As for the seeds, he told me that I would get more.
He also said that he wasn't sure how strict customs controls are in your country and whether it would even be possible to send you some seeds.
Just let me know how things actually are and we'll see what's possible.

Thanks for the offer Tom, unfortunately the biosecurity controls in Australia are very strict, so the seeds wouldn't get through. I should be able to find a tree locally if I search hard enough, I think I've seen them in the past but they were expensive!

Here's a pic of our old doggy luxury glamping!

She's greatly missed 😔

We almost thought it...

Urs' tree was also 150 usd.

He also thought it was quite expensive ...

Yes, that is always very sad and takes a lot out of us, to say the least ... Very nice photo and also a very pretty one 🤗😄

You will want to cold stratify those seeds as soon as possible. Asimina triloba seeds will not store very long.

La planta de mi cuñado da 22 frutos en total y está situada cerca del lago de Constanza.

Como tampoco estaba en casa, decidí no llevarme uno.

También hay 2 militares entrenados. 

Pastores alemanes en todas partes.

Me sentí como Thomas Magnum y por eso lo dejé, no quería problemas con Higgins, ni con Urs.

Wikipedia says that the fruit pulp contains a neurotoxin. I have never heard that. These are widely eaten here.

What you say is very interesting, my friend. And be careful with that neurotoxin.

You're welcome. I have had good germination rates with placing the seeds in damp moss and storing them in the refrigerator over the winter.

Toxicity is a concern, but normal consumption of pawpaws shouldn't be dangerous.
