- We highly recommend these superior trees to you, as a means
of accessing the wealth of the genetic potential of the Pawpaw.
- Pawpaw seedlings come true to their parents about 80%. (*see
reference below) This means that by planting some of these Superior
Seedlings, you are more likely to get trees with great fruit quality,
than from wild or "common" seed sources; and at a much
lower cost than buying grafted trees.
- Tree seedlings are like children, in that,
despite having the best of parents, you can never know how they
will turn out! These trees are all genetically different.
Unlike grafted trees, they are not clones.
- These
low priced trees
offer an excellent way to start with Pawpaws, since they
encompass a truly wide range of Pawpaw genetics.
- We are planting many of these ourselves, as a project to discover
new superior cultivars.
- Any
group of them will grow into trees of great diversity, and some
may be of outstanding quality, like the best of their their parents.
- We will send you trees from a variety
of parents. For 50 cents extra per tree, we will label them as
to the female parent's cultivar name.

- These are nicely grown, sturdy little seedling trees. These
were grown last year under shade cloth, which reduces the UV light
that Pawpaw seedlings do not like in their first year. This year
they are growing in full sun, and are tready to transplant into
your ground.
- Pawpaw trees in containers can be planted any time during the
growing season, with minimal transplanting shock.
- Your Seedlings will be more or less leafed out, depending on
when they are shipped.
- They like plenty of mulch and water, and a slightly acid soil
high in organic matter. Complete growing instructions sent with
each order.
- These trees are 8" to 18" tall, and growing. They
are shipped in their containers of native soil. This soil is not
sterilized and may contain various plant seeds and soil micro-
and macro-organisims.
- Any two Pawpaw trees are capable of cross-pollination and producing
fruit, except for the unfruitful combinations of two trees grafted
to the same cultivar, or two trees arising as root sprouts from
the same tree. (There may be other unfruitful combinations that
I do not know of).
- Or, start with our even less expensive Bareroot
Superior Baby Pawpaw Trees.
- All of our prices are postpaid to the 48 states.
