Re: Asimina Triloba (Paw Paw)

Re: Musa Basjoo prep for winter

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: 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!
