Grafted
Pawpaw trees are clones of named cultivars, (varieties), which have
been selected for superior quality. Over the years, amateur fruit
explorers as well as professional fruit breeders have selected Pawpaw
trees with outstanding fruit and other qualities which recommend
them for backyard growing as well as for establishing 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. Typically, nurseries use any kind of common Pawpaw seed for rootstock. Pawpaw rootstocks are currently being studied at KYSU. 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 Potted Superior Pawpaw Trees will cross~pollinate. Please consider ordering some. |
