Take in mind that pawpaw means different things in different areas. The real paw paw is Asimina. Lechosa is the papaya (Carica), also called (incorrectly) pawpaw because... it sounds similar. Papaya is a Mayan word and should be used instead.
Very different creatures. Carica is tropical. Asimina is temperate and can live in areas with snow. Carica is superfast. Asimina starts as a very slow grower. Fruits taste totally different.
