I have tried for a couple of years to get a couple going but my source is REALLY crappy (Burgess). I am looking for a better source now and think I may have found one. I would appreciate your input on this as well.
If you happen to live where they are native and might be able to get me a couple of trees THAT would be PHENOMENAL!
Hey Steven (and all who are interested), I live in Marietta, Pennsylvania. Paw paw trees are a common thing here. I have over 30 trees in my garden and they finally started producing fruit last year. (it takes 5 to 6 years from seed to fruit producing so patience is required!). I saved all my seeds! If anyone is interested in trying to grow their own email me (rswaller3@aol.com). It takes at least 2 trees to pollinate, they are extremely disease resistant and the fruit is so darn yummy! And the seeds are free...or if you have some cool seeds to trade I'll do that too! Cheers, Rob.
