Paw-paws don't like direct sun/wind swept areas although I have 3 that are planted in just such a location and they survived to the point of two of them bearing fruit this year (but in a hot, dry summer - they will suffer - which will slow them down, sometimes considerably). In their natural form, paw-paws are usually found in partial shade near water such as creeks. Do note that to get fruit you will need two different paw-paw varieties. I am in Virginia (7a).
