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: When to winterize Basjoo bananas

This sounds like a good plan. I have been growing musa basjoo since 2016 and I think we're in similar zones. I'm long island ny zone 7a which sounds about the same for you or even a little colder if...

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: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)

Re: First Paw Paw fruit coming!!

How are your Pawpaws doing now? Do you love the fruit and what is the taste like? Do your trees produce a lot of fruit? I'm curious of what you have learned about your own trees! Happy gardening!

Thank you! It seems that the tree has corrected itself. It grew really well and has a nice full shape emerging. They've only been in the ground since last year and they were just 12-18 inch sticks...
