I posted to a plant app and it said paw paw or buckeye. I have not seen fruit or nuts in 3 years. It's at my tree line in Ohio

    It’s a Paw Paw and they have to be pretty mature before the grow fruit. I zoomed in on the left near the top and it looks like there’s fruit on another tree behind that one.

  2. Looks like a pawpaw to me.

    Pawpaw are [self-incompatible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-incompatibility), meaning pollen cannot fertilize flowers on the same plant.[^([36])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba#cite_note-:0-36) This, coupled with the pawpaw’s tendency to form clonal patches can reduce fertilization success. A single patch consisting of many stems may therefore produce no fruit if all stems are genetically identical. Fruitless pawpaw patches have been documented in Ohio.[^([26])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asimina_triloba#cite_note-lagrangetramer1985-26)

    These keep trying to grow in my back and front yard. Are they invasive?
