Yesterday was a good day! I received a package from BigBadBill (thank you sir!) with some Paw Paws and fig cuttings. Everything was wrapped and packaged top notch and arrived in great shape.



The paw paws tasted like a mix of pineapple, banana, mango, and maybe papaya with the texture of a banana.  Pretty decent fruit and I imagine a named variety picked from the tree at peak ripeness,  would be even better. The seeds will get stratified this winter (maybe a couple planted fresh) and hopefully sprout into some new trees next year.

The fig cuttings will get put into growing media in the greenhouse this weekend with some other cuttings that i started and hopefully root with no issues.

Thank you again BigBadBill for your generosity and time !

Yes, Bill is a super guy!!!!

Agreed frankallen Mario gifted me a baby tree for free.

You need a new wish list now.

Indestructible87... I know right ! He literally knocked my wish list out in one shot.  i'm kinda still in a state of shock/awe that someone has that depth of a collection as well as the good heart to share that much.

Excellent! You have some excellent tasting varieties there.
