A Cluster of Pawpaw Fruit

We offer Pawpaw seed and trees from two sources. The "Superior" ones come from the orchard at KSU, (see below), containing some of the best known Pawpaw cultivars, as well as many from all over the tree's native range. There is a good chance that fruit from trees grown from this seed will be of good eating quality. The "Common" seed is collected here in the Arkansas Ozarks, from wild patches with above~average fruit, .
