I planted potato onions today which we harvested 1.5 years ago.

We had a severe frost a few days ago, which eliminated any tree fruits this year. It even damaged the rhubarb.

What do you think the challenges would be growing pawpaw in Utah? Protecting young trees from intense sunlight? Keeping the soil moist? Soil pH?

Zone 6, 45 inches precipitation, hard clay soil

I don't have any expectations one way or the other for the paw-paw and persimmons. I hope they survive and thrive, but if not, then I will plant something else. I live in the desert. They come from the humid east.
