alt Hacker NewsI have a paw paw tree that has survived 7 years in northern Wisconsin. Unfortunately it is the only one out of five that I planted that has survived and so I'll never get fruit because they reproduce sexually and as far as I know the closest one is 4 hours south in Madison.

Pawpaws are actually hermaphroditic not dioecious. Your tree produces female flowers first and later in the year produces male flowers. This is to prevent self-pollination. However, you can save some male pollen until next year.
Alternatively, you could graft the branch of a pawpaw that flowers earlier to try and get the male and female flowers maturing at the same time. You might also be able to just buy some pollen. It's actually quite easy to collect. You can use a brush to sprinkle it on a female flower
There are dating sites for dogs. You may create a dating site for trees.
You can order the trees online.
Graft a steam with a different variety and then you will need a lot of flies, or a brush and some artistic strokes in May.
That's a predicament. What are you gonna do? What's it doing 4h away from a booty call? That's a bit cruel.
