Thank you for this video, I had a lot of questions about hand pollinating paw paw trees and you explained the “how and why” very well. My trees probably will not flower for a few years but hopefully I remember this info when the time comes.

Well done, thanks for the explanation. I successfully cross pollinate Shenandoah and Prolific pawpaws here in southern Wisconsin. This year, the trees are loaded with fruit, some clusters of 6-8! I pollinated 3 or 4 times during the 2 week period when there are flowers. Pollen is gathered separately for each variety using marked cups to ensure cross pollination. It's a pleasant task on a spring morning, and i think my pampered pawpaws like the attention 😊

Dear Mrs. Angela, Thank you so much for explaining hand pollination. Because of you I managed to pollinate my paw paws with "stranger-pollen". It took you to really explain the difference between male and female flowers. I had never done it before. IT WORKED! Thank you again.-Paul

I watch your videos even though I don’t do permaculture. But you’re just really cool and knowledgeable. I *am* slowly doing an all native landscape. You’ve helped me learn more about plants in a general way. Plus, your enthusiasm and dedication is just nice. Also, so glad you’re talking in front of the camera now. You’re a very good communicator

Thank you for this really informative video. I have had my Asimina Sunflower (which is selfcompatible) flower a couple of years, but I have had no success even though I have hand fertilized the flowers. It is strange, because the fruit started to grow to cca 1cm so I believe that the flower was correctly pollinated. But then the fruit was dropped. I hope this year some fruit will grow because now I know how to properly pollinate Asimina. Otherwise I will have to get another Asimina for guaranteed success.

So for the Pawpaw tree to fertilize . What do you mean by a different tree that is distinct variety . Can I can two Pawpaw Asimina triloba or do I need one that is an Asimina triloba and another completely different variety that is not an Asimina triloba Pawpaw . Thanks , Trevor

Did you ever hear about Eric Toensmeyer's choice to plant his paw paw near where his neighbor's put their trash on the other side of the fence? He was very lucky that also happened to be a good spot for them to grow, but it's a very neighborhood friendly sustainable option. My neighbors happen to not do good a cleaning up after their dogs I'm also hoping that will help my paw paws once they finally bloom. The problem could end up being the solution :)

Thank you for this video. It clears up alot of confusion I had from other web postings. I still do not understand something. If the flower starts as female, then turns male, does it only turn male if it is not pollinated as a female flower? To ask another way, when you pull off those male flowers to use for pollen, is it possible that they would have produced a fruit if you had not picked them?

So it seems that my bigger and older (Shenandoah) tree will have more blooms earlier this year, and my younger and smaller replacement (first Rappahannock croaked) tree has fewer and smaller buds, which means I'll have a smaller crop because the older trees blooms will be male by the time my younger tree's buds are even thinking about opening? Maybe I should get a 3rd tree? I don't want to not be able to eat Shenandoah! Will the flowers always be mistimed? Lol this didn't occur to me as a potential issue.

Super informative video! Planning on ordering some plants this spring and doing my research and your videos have been a great resource. Do all three of your varieties flower at the same time ? Also in you first video where you planted the baby trees you had a PA golden did you replace it ? Finally would you be able to share some information on how your first harvest went and the flavor profiles 😅. Thankyou !

I don't understand why in our gardens we need two distinct varieties when in the wild they grow in groupings of individuals that can be genetically the same? Do you have any insight on this?
@ParkrosePermaculture3 жыл бұрын
In the wild, every plant that is grown from seed and is a combination of its parents’ genetics. So each plant is genetically distinct from each other. When we buy named varieties they are clones of each other taken from cuttings, so they can’t produce fruit on their own. They are genetically different from each other, and Plants that are not self fertile cannot pollinate themselves. When we use improved varieties we get a consistent size shape and flavor of the fruit but it means that those are all clones of each other so we need another variety that is genetically distinct in order to get fruit.

It takes me about five minutes once an afternoon for just a few days to pollinate three trees. Not a hassle at all to get a delicious specialty fruit you cannot find in stores.
