Who Else Grows Pawpaw Trees?

Wow, nice root mass.

Yeah I thought so too. I was surprised to see all the roots mostly in the lower half of the container, down where the highest moisture levels were, and not throughout the container.

Nope not yet. I purchased them as 1 ft tall small grafted trees in 2024 and fully expected at least 5 years before I see flowers. Maybe the extra room for the roots to grow will speed things along.

Nice, I believe the one I had flower was 2 years old and still in a tall tree pot.
Had I had another bloom for pollination...lol
Could have had some numnums.

Me too brother, I think the greater % of people in this country have not tasted one...if they did you would never find it available. lol
It's hard enough now to find it.

Here are updated pics from last weekend of my planted cultivars. Susquehanna and Potomac. They look a little rough with as little rain we’ve had. The grafts in the pawpaw patch in the field are looking pretty good. Different location from these.

Agree. Have yet to talk to someone locally that has tasted one.
