In a Nutshell:

* This seed was collected from trees of the variety Shenandoah. They were planted in a mixed orchard with other select varieties. It is very unlikely that the resulting seedlings will completely resemble the mother tree. They should have many desirable characteristics, however. more...

* Neal Peterson describes on his website:

It is a real taste treat -- smooth, custardy texture, with just the right balance of fragrance, sweet fruity flavor and agreeable aftertaste. This tree originated as a seedling of 'Overleese' and, it must be said, is superior to its parent. Large fruit with few seeds (6% by weight). Texture is firmer than wild pawpaws but softer than the other two varieties. Fruit is often borne in single-fruited clusters. Good yields. Shenandoah responds well to pruning.
