Harvested a few. These are going to be devoured quickly. I am making some spiced paw paw jam to have this winter also. Saving all the seed from all with few seeds, good flavor and large size. The culls will be seeded and planted for rootstock. That way you have a paw paw with good traits grafted on a good aclimated Louisiana rootstock.....David

Great stuff. It must be nice having all that stuff growing wild in the woods. Only thing that grows wild in the woods here is poison ivy...

I planted a Pawpaw tree on my property this spring and it took really well. I'm tempted to plant a second one for cross pollination.

Hi David, do you hand pollinate yours? My 2 are now 7-8 yrs old & gave me (for the 1st time) a few blossoms that fell off. Hoping next year I'll get fruit.

Hi Patty
No I do not hand polinate unless................I am making a cross to improve some factor and I feel the cross will do it. I leave it up to the natural polinators...seems to be ants and bugs and flies here. I do not see a lot of bee activity on the blooms. If your trees are grafted trees of a good variety I find that fruit comes in about 3 or 4 years................sometimes a little faster if its a good variety and a very healthy tree. Sorry for the late reply...computer has been giving me fits. Take care and good to hear from you. David

David, are there any places nearby to purchase grafted trees? I'm in the New Orleans suburbs, and have only been able to find seedlings.

Thanks-

Yes Dave ////// Not promotion my own biz but I have some grafted trees for sale. I have some of the best that can be found. Let me know what you desire and I shall see what I can fix you up with. This is not the selling forum so I shall not mention prices here...but we can discuss. Thanks for your interest...David
