Sign me up too. I remember when the only selected seed source was TyTy.

I will want some, Bass. They really did well for me this spring!

@Caney...sorry for late response.  My MIL says she knows of several patches 3 hours from me in Eastern Ky...but she has not been tromping thru those hills in 50 years.  I am getting ready to send an email to Kentucky State Univ pawpaw program to see if they will tell me where one can find pawpaws in the state.  Granted the season may be over, it just depends. Regardless, I will be more prepared for pawpaw hunting next year.  Let me know if you found/find any.

Bass, Any paw paw scions available? I'm looking.

Wild man, send me an e-mail, I have a few.

I am growing paw paw in zone 4 in vermont,My trees have been inground for 2 years, but have not grown much yet.

little John, I got some.

I am struck by the coincidence of interest on this site. Last year I too planted paw paws. This year I am planitng more, and persimmons, too. Our local Soil and Conservation District sponsors a spring tree sale hosted through a Future Farmers of America club, selling 10 for $10 of these and combinations. Even if only a few take, it's still a nice mid spirng walk in the fields.

We have a few wild Pawpaw patches in our area... Some wild ones are good. Here's an article I wrote last year.

Bass,

I have three 4" seedlings off the seeds that you distributed during our 2nd NE fig meet.

Wha should I do with  them?

I am very pawpaw-naive and have not even tasted one before,

more so growing it...

The seedlings need to be planted in their permanent spot, if they're too small you can keep them in individual pots for another year. They come very true to parents from seeds, but you can also graft them when they're at least 2 years old. 

Jon do you have any paw paw seeds that might do well in zone 4, Rex

A question for all of you experienced pawpaw growers.  I have several pawpaws on order this year and 2 that just arrived this week that I planted.  I expect they're all grafted from last year and so just have one season's growth on them.  Some of the instructions I got with the ones I just planted say to protect them from full sun for the first year.  However, I've read elsewhere that it's only 1-2 year seedlings that need protected.  I wouldn't think that this applies to grafted trees.

I planted them out with no protection when they were over 2 foot long, they should be fine. Just make sure they're watered well. I hope those that you got were not bare rooted pawpaws.

The first ones I got were barerooted, but container-grown.  I've heard bad things, from you and others, about barerooted pawpaws but decided to give them a try since they were grown in containers.  The root systems looked pretty similar to some container-grown ones I've seen.  Hopefully they'll be okay!  If not, I've learned my lesson.  The rest coming this year will be in containers.

Bass and or anyone else, 

They will grow in your area, I'm not sure which varieties will do better for you. I know that Sunflower has done well on the west coast. It ripens earlier than some varieties, usually starting in late August for me. 

Thanx Bass ,

Seedlings will bear fruit similar to the parent tree. If you're interested I have a few seedlings available now for shipping and will have some grafted in a couple months. They don't do well in a pot, although I've seen them fruiting in containers. Grafted tree bears sooner than nseedlings.

Grant ,

Hey Bass, I'm glad this topic came up again. I still have the seeds I got from you last spring. I think I miss handled them for a whole I forgot about them for a few months and just left them out in a bag. I read that they need to be kept cold for a period so they will grow, I have kept them in the fridge over the winter in a bag with a damp paper towel. If they would even grow now I would need to keep them in a pot. I won't plant it in ground since I hope to move in the next few years. I guess it's not worth it to try to grow it if I have to do it this way?

If the seeds are kept damp and cold they are probably still good. Plant them about an inch deep in a one gallon pot. I usually plant about 10 to a pot and a year later I transplant them to individual long pots. 

Do you think they would be ok if they stayed in pots for a few years?
