KEARNEYSVILLE - Neal Peterson stood overlooking the volunteers planting some 50 dozen small pawpaw trees. Some still in pots, all grouped by families, the tiny trees were the creation of his own hands and many years of research.
Peterson, a global expert on the pawpaw fruit, began his research in the 1980s by looking through antique collections dating back to the early 1920s. The best material of his results was shared with 11 different universities, and the work continues today.
"I was evaluating quality, flavor, color - anything that could someday be in a grocery store," Peterson said.

Volunteers spent Thursday planting 600 pawpaw trees at the Kearneysville Tree Fruit Research and
Education Center.
The pawpaw native to the Eastern Panhandle grows on trees ranging from 20 to 30 feet in height. The variety varies in different areas - pawpaws in Florida grow on small shrubs only 3 feet tall.
By hand-pollinating a mixture of different mother and father plants, Peterson used hybridization to create his own trees, growing between 8 and 10 feet tall, and named the varieties for local places such as the Potomac, Shenandoah and Susquehanna.
Pawpaws native to the Eastern Panhandle can be found growing along the Potomac River and the C&O Canal. The leaves are simple and oblong with smooth edges. The fruit varies in size, depending on the number of seeds inside - it can be anywhere from a hen's egg to the size of a large mango. The taste is similar to a banana or mango.
Some believe this fruit could revolutionize the orchard industry in the Eastern Panhandle, which has been dwindling since the apple industry began shrinking in the 1990s.
According to Dr. Alan Biggs of West Virginia University's Kearneysville Tree Fruit Research and Education Center, the dropoff in the apple industry was caused by low processed apple prices and fruit juice coming from China.
"West Virginia is ranked anywhere from 6 to 12 in the nation for apple production, and this station has been a big part of that," Biggs said.
Through communication with Peterson over several years, Biggs was able to bring the Peterson Pawpaw Project to the research center as an experimental orchard.
Volunteers spent Thursday in the dirt, planting six long rows, each of 100 small pawpaw trees, over more than one-quarter of an acre.
Andy Moore, of Pittsburgh, Pa., was one of the volunteers helping to plant the trees. He is in the midst of writing a book on the history of the pawpaw fruit, and has conducted several interviews with Peterson for his research.
"It's a mystery to me why folks don't know about (the pawpaw)," Moore said. "It can be found in the woods anywhere in this part of the country. It's this unknown thing, although it surrounds us."
"Also, it tastes really good," he said.
The small orchard in Kearneysville serves as an experiment for future uses. Peterson said, for example, Ocean Spray had expressed interest, after tasting some of his samples, in doing laboratory experiments with the pawpaw and other juice blends - the company requested a ton of pawpaws to do experiments.
"Well, you have to already have some orchards going for that," Peterson said, adding that dealings with Ocean Spray will be down the road.
The trees planted Thursday were between one and two years old, but like everything, Peterson said, the pawpaws have to start somewhere.
"There was a time in the Eastern Panhandle when the first apple orchard went in, shortly after the Civil War, then it became a thriving apple industry. This is experimental, because, unlike the apple, pawpaw is very little known," Peterson said.
