Grafted
Pawpaw Trees
Now
Available
Cultivars
Selected for Superior Fruit!
|
|
|
These
Pawpaw trees are named cultivars, (varieties), which have been selected
for the superior quality of their fruit. 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.
We are now offering some of the best available! |
Grafted
Pawpaw trees will bear years sooner than seedlings.
If well grown, they may bear fruit as early as the third year after
planting. |
|
Our
grafted Pawpaw trees are healthy and vigorous plants, growing in
quart or one gallon containers.
We grow the rootstocks from seed in containers, then graft them
the following year to the cultivars.
These trees are now growing in full sun, and are ready to be planted
outside.
Plant them in well drained, fertile soil, keep the area around them
mulched and weeded, and give them plenty of water. Keep them well
mulched over winter.
Growing instructions included with each order.
Quantities limited, please order soon!

Here is Mark, in the greenhouse,
grafting Pawpaw trees in May. |
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. For this reason,
we recommend you order at least two different cultivars, unless
you already have other Pawpaw trees growing nearby. You also may
order one or more Potted
Superior Baby Pawpaw Trees,
as pollination buddies.
|

Here's how some of our grafted Pawpaw trees look in May.
For size reference, these one gallon pots are four inches wide at
the top.
Yours may be in quart or gallon pots, and if ordered later in the
year, will have grown more. |
