I had these at my last house for 15+ years when we moved I took dozens of seeds and planted them at my new house. Got 8 trees growing. One mistake I made is I didn't know a young tree needs to be shaded. And with the deer rubbing, I get 3 ft tall chicken wire, cut the width to form a piece 2x the diameter of the trunk and just hang it with string from low branches. Never had deer damage to any tree protected with that.

@@ARCSTREAMS runners, or also commonly known as suckers, are shoots that come up from the root system of the main tree. So they would all have the same genetic code meaning that they could not pollinate each other. Willows and silver maples are famous for this. One tree can make hundreds of little trees. With pawpaw's, while they are beautiful to look at, they cannot produce fruit. So you have to introduce a new tree.

Good stuff, I live in Southern Europe, obviously NOT their natural range but a very few people are growing them and selling seedlings (not named varieties as far as I know). One guy sent me some seedlings, plus a fruit he had grown, first time I'd tried it, it's not like they can be flown over! Planted a few seeds and one survived, the seedlings I bought I planted basically in the full shade of some apple trees which I hope they will outgrow and outlive. They seem to have done ok so far in our hot summers, although two seedlings died right back last summer in the heat, only to resprout this year! I've got high hopes, I'm always trying to grow interesting non-native things, I get bored of cherries, plums and apples!

I live very near the NE shore of Lake Michigan, well north of the native range of the tree. 3 years ago I planted two pawpaw trees (1-2 foot from a farm in the mid portion of the Lower Peninsula that has an orchard... it is north of the native range in Michigan as well) in partially shaded area of my yard that stays moist. They have done well and this year I have flower buds on one of the trees. We get heavy snow in the winter which acts as a natural mulch and I have had success with a number of plants that are not supposed to establish this far north... the lake moderates the cold as well. I also thought with climate change it might be a good thing to try them this far north. Interesting.. there are two root suckers off the larger of the two trees already.

I live in San Antonio Texas just bought two paw paws, looks like they will tolerate our cold but how about the heat and scorching sun my tree are about 19 in tall in a 51/2 in sm plastic pot it’s August now so I was planning to wait till March or February next year so it gets more months (8) to start establishing roots. I’m hesitant if I should wait till next year because I’ve heard their roots are very delicate so I just want to do it once but I’m thinking it might cause root bound which I think will also kill it if I mess with roots. Please What advise can you give?

Pawpaws in the deep south, or hot dry areas like the southwest, do better with part (afternoon) shade. In this situation I would recommend planting in the fall (November is a good time). Farther north it is better to plant in the spring, but fall planting is ok farther south. It is in a pretty small pot for its above ground size, so it would be better to get it in the ground as soon as possible. Until planting, keep the potted tree in the shade and water it regularly.

So i'd recently ordered three paw paws, before learning how difficult & sensitive they can be to transplant. Now I'm worried lol. I have pretty dense clay soil up here in SC, & have been told that growing it 'on top' or mounding would be the best option. But I don't know what that entails. I don't know how much soil or compost et al i'd need or how many inches off the grow it needs to be (as i assume it has slightly different needs to other trees.) Or if it's possible to 'overfertilize.' And would it be bad to use native soil that has been loosened & somewhat amended for the mound, or are there things in it that could pose a threat? Same with the mulch i've got on my property in some woods, i.e. leaves and decaying wood etc. I've seen those tiny little tree guards, the white spirals that go around the stem, & i wonder if that would harm the bark over time? sorry for the hundreds of questions, i just really don't want to end up killing all three trees. It would be a major bummer lol.

hello, if i take the seeds from one fruit pod and plant just one seed is there still chance to get any fruit? would planting all seeds increase chances and if so how does cross pollination actually work does it have to happen outdoor after the saplings or young trees are strong enough to be planted outside?
@HorticultureWebinarWednesday Жыл бұрын
Yes, you can grow pawpaws from seed. This factsheet gives the specifics: www.kysu.edu/academics/college-acs/school-of-ace/pawpaw/pawpaw-planting-guide.php Cross pollination would occur once it is planted outdoors and reaches a flowering stage (usually around year 7). Then cross pollination would occur between two trees via a pollinator like bees. I hope that helps.

@@ARCSTREAMSYes, you should be able to, each seed should be genetically unique because each would have come from an ovum fertilised by a different pollen grain, potentially from a different plant, though I couldn't say what the likelihood is of getting clones from seeds.

you can try, but pay attention to the Sum of Active Temperatures, its limit is 2600, you seem to call it GDD, but I'm not sure about the number, you can only increase it with an unheated greenhouse. Frost resistance can be increased by covering young plants with polyester-based agrofibre and special treatments before winter (similar ones are used in viticulture, Google local manufacturers with the request "concentrate/product for increasing frost resistance (of plants)". Also, a problem in planting plants may be that the rootstock will be less frost-resistant than the scion, but if you take a plant in Canada, I doubt that you will encounter this problem. I can say for sure that the Mango and Sunflower varieties do not overwinter in zone 5. And there is another way - planting seedlings. That is, take seeds from early varieties, sow, cover for the first three years, and then some of them show higher frost resistance. But it seems to me that the best option in your case is still the option with a heated greenhouse, the trees are not very tall, they are easy to form, plant several trees in a row and treat for the winter to be sure frost resistance. I share my top in this case, which I want to grow in my 5th zone.
