Is this a native tree or a cultivated one.....

It’s grows natively, but it is cultivated, but not widely cultivated.

Another hint:
there is an traditional folk song about this type of tree: and it mentions you by name

I have looked all over our property for pawpaw trees! I found a few small ones, but never the adult trees. We have some almost impenetrable areas, and I fought my way into dense thickets in my search, to no avail.
My sister, in VA has them abundantly. I brought back seeds and planted them. I love pawpaws, but would not put 'em in my pocket.....
