• All Pawpaw trees bear flowers which are both male and female, but they do not normally self~pollinate, so two genetically distinct trees are usually needed for fruit.
• Any two of these Seedling Pawpaw Trees could cross-pollinate and produce fruit.
• Pawpaw trees send up root sprouts, and in time a single tree may form an extensive patch of genetically identical trees. This sometimes explains the non-fruiting Pawpaw patches which may be found in the wild.
• If grown in full sun, pawpaw trees will have a broad, pyramidal shape.
• They also grow in partial shade but tend to be taller and less productive.

• These Pawpaw trees in containers, unlike bare~root trees, can be planted any time during the growing season, with minimal transplanting shock.
• Your seedlings will be more or less leafed out, depending upon the time of year.
• They like plenty of mulch and water, with good drainage, and a slightly acid soil high in organic matter. Complete Growing Instructions are sent with each order.
• Our trees are grown without synthetic pesticides, but we do use some chemical fertilizer.
• All of our prices are postpaid to the 48 states.

• These sturdy little seedling trees are not ready for full sun.
• IN THEIR FIRST YEAR, they are intolerant of UV light, so it is important to grow New Pawpaw Seedlings in containers in a well-ventilated UV-blocking greenhouse, or outdoors in the shade.
• We use an airy canopy of greenhouse-grade poly film in our nursery.
• Excess UV will show up as brown, sunburned leaves.
• Ventilation reduces fungus diseases, which may appear as brown spots or moist wilted areas on the leaves.
• To remedy fungus, increase ventilation, reduce crowding, and/or spray all leaf surfaces with wettable sulfur.
• Tubular “tree shelters” are not recommended since they may produce conditions that promote fungus. This is also true of thick weeds growing close to young trees.
• If first year pawpaw trees are planted in the ground, provide them with a shade structure such as a tomato cage partly covered in cheesecloth or poly film.
