I enjoy pawpaws from seed. Very easy to grow, no pests etc.

Is it worth it? About a fourth of the people I serve them to like the flavor right away, totally love them. About half are in the middle, will have a bite or two, sorta like them, but not go out of their way for more. About a fourth think they are unfit for humans.

The quality of seedlings varies, of course, but if you start from a good fruit they are usually OK.

Trees have both male and female flowers, so any two are fine.

The best quality trees / fruit have been selected by Neal Peterson. His "Shenandoah" is probably the best all round. I forget the name of the nursery that has them but can dig it up later. forest something.

The cheapest seedling trees are at Burntridge.

I grow them in Iowa and Arkansas.

Good luck in your pawpaw patch.
