Our
Grafted Pawpaw Trees are not available at this time. |
Grafted
Pawpaw trees are clones of named cultivars, (varieties), which have
been selected for superior traits. Over the years, amateur fruit
explorers as well as professional fruit breeders have selected outstanding
Pawpaw trees for backyard growing as well as for orchards. |
|
As
with fruit trees in general, the scion on grafted Pawpaw trees is
from a mature tree. Thus, grafted trees are likely to bear a year
or so sooner than seedlings.
Grafted trees do not always perform the same as the parent tree,
due to local conditions, rootstock differences, and other factors.
At
least two genetically different Pawpaw trees are usually required
for cross~pollination and fruit production. Self~pollinating Pawpaw
trees have been reported, but are the exception.
Any two of our
Superior
Pawpaw Trees
will
cross~pollinate. Please consider ordering some.
