Re: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)
The only pawpaw that I’ve heard of being self-fertile is Sunflower but I would say buy at least 2-6 because it will help increase fruit and if one dies unexpectedly you’ll have a backup. I lost a...

Re: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)
I haven’t posted in here in awhile. I actually got 8 pawpaw fruits last year from my seedling tree. Cluster of 8 from 1 flower. (Very happy). The fruits were around 5-6 percent seed, firm texture...

Re: Zone Pushing - Mango

Oh okay so it's around the same as my trees. Once I looked into it more I saw that Kentucky State University & Neal Peterson recommends 8 feet between trees. I think Michael Judd said that ideally 10...

Re: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)
What is the spacing between these two trees? Just curious :) - I spaced my trees 6-7 feet from one another so they would become a hedge and pollinate each other well hopefully.

Re: Can I move a Musa Basjoo root ball?
