Pawpaw Cultivation 2021

Loved the video, very informative. Thank you. And just to contribute I thought I would share a little tip. I have several eastern white pines and I find that the pine straw works as an excellent and free source of mulch for weed and moisture control, possibly even adding a slight bit of acidity if fresh and turned slightly into the soil right away.

KSU shipped me seeds five tears ago. I have fruit on the first tree this year from hand pollinating with wild wild tree flowers growing nearby. One bunch of six fruit too Had twenty-eight flowers to begin with, and now have 25 fruit. Tree is just under six feet tall.Thank you!

I'm glad to hear the Sunflower variety is somewhat self-fertile.

Thank you so very much for the recording. I could not join live due to my poor KY internet 🥰

This video is not showing up on searches, even though I have watched dozens of pawpaw videos. Perhaps putting addition names like Asimina triloba, Hoosier Banana, Custard Banana, etc. might get more views!

Thanks for the suggestions. We went in and added some more keywords including your suggestions!

How much can a horticulture graduate student specializing in pawpaw make after graduation? Asking for a friend.

Poor man's banana

[@rvansteensel420]

@@ALFORDACRESFARM how do natives know what bananas are

[@ALFORDACRESFARM]

@@rvansteensel420 because natives migrated from the tropics as did every human on earth at some point.

[@billastell3753]

@@ALFORDACRESFARM Hate to break it to you but most native Americans came across the Bering strait through Alaska. That's as far from the tropics as you can get.

why you don't show the seed of each kind?

[@boonecountyarboretum]

Thank you for the question, the seeds are pretty much identical from the various varieties so there wouldn't any noticeable difference.
