Oops, I also wanted to mention that there are at least 27 varieties! Phew, that's it for now! Thanks for watching!

At the end of the video I was attempting to say that coffee grounds are viewed as ph neutral and that after being washed much of the mineral content is no long present in the beans. There are still minerals to be found and many of them are consumed by the Paw Paw tree!

Who knew rotting flesh scent could result in a bomb tropical fruit?! LOL So cool! Another fruit I have never heard of! Thanks for the video Jesse!

Ginko fruit smells like rotting meat too. I'm hoping i have a male because i only need the leaves for tincture

I've heard from local native elders that Pawpaws used to grow up to the lower end of the Ottawa river. none of my pawpaws germinated, but my persimmons are doing well.

[@TheHolmsteadWithJesseHolm]

I've only lost the one, but the other five are putting out some serious growth now that they are in the full sun. I know it will still be likely five years until we get to taste them, but its exciting to see something with some history growing!

We put 4 in 1 hole. I didnt think they were gonna make it. No shade. Leaves burned last year but all are thriving in no shade this year.

[@TheHolmsteadWithJesseHolm]

That's really great! The ones I have planted are still very small, but your comment gives me more confidence in the plants ability to stand up to a little hardship! Thanks for checking out the channel!

I planted some in full sun with the idea that I'd keep an eye on them and knowing that they don't transplant well. They are some of my biggest trees and I never saw any kind of trauma to them. I think that that is an old wives' tale because the send runners out and would be in the shade of their elders. Maybe in Florida they might need shade cloth or something, but I have had no need here in zone 5. Also, keep the one that you think is dead. Being they spend their first few years building a strong root system, it just might send out new leaves. They are late to leaf out anyway. My tenant was being helpful and volunteered to weed wack. He amputated one "tree" and totally girdled the other with the weed wacker. They are still struggling a few years later, but they are alive. I put it down to the root system. I'm wondering if some manure wouldn't be a good idea to attract flies for pollination.
