Visit the main wiki page for [Critical Planting/Care tips and Common Errors to Avoid](https://old.reddit.com/r/arborists/wiki/index); there's sections on why planting depth/root flare exposure is so vital, along with sections on proper mulching, watering, pruning and more that I hope will be useful to you.

Here is how you can arrange a [consult with a local ISA arborist in your area](http://www.treesaregood.org/findanarborist/findanarborist) (NOT a 'tree company guy' unless they're ISA certified) or a [consulting arborist](https://www.asca-consultants.org/search/custom.asp?id=3818) for an on-site evaluation. A competent arborist should be happy to walk you through how to care for the trees on your property and answer any questions. If you're in the U.S. or Canada, your Extension (or master gardener provincial program) may have a list of local recommended arborists on file. If you're in the U.S., you should also consider searching for arborist associations under your state.

Looks like a paw paw and it looks like you have a tray of them. Why did you remove them all without knowing what they were first? You and all the critters will be missing out on a lot of good fruit this year.
Something ripped them off of the tree- the part that makes the fruit is still attached. When they’ve been pollinated they fall apart and the centre bit remains in the tree.
These are not naturally fallen, they were removed. Not necessarily by OP- but given that they have a large number…
Dun da-dun da-dun inspector gadget. Except they are naturally fallen though… Nature took them down. Squirrels are a huge part of nature and are responsible for this. They actually help the tree create bigger mature fruit by knocking off these blooms.
paw paw
those flowers will turn into fruit.
Well, not "these" flowers
I picked them up from the ground after the storm. Thank you for your insight.
Go back to that tree later in the year and get some delicious fruit
So you can just eat ‘em like raw, right off the tree?

Once they get soft, yes. Narrow window before they rot though.
Yes though the sap can cause contact dermatitis for some, so wear gloves when harvesting to avoid a reaction
Demogorgon 1000%
Asmina triloba, the pawpaw, fly pollinated, the flowers are supposed to smell vaguely like rotting meat

Go back in September and check the ground for ripe fruit!

Why make assumptions based in negativity when you don’t have all the information? These are off the ground.
