I'll be getting in some Peterson pawpaws shortly. I believe most sellers are out of these, like Nolin River Nursery. I don't know yet if I can get all of them or not. PM me if interested. $40 each + actual cost of shipping

'Allegheny' Pawpaw fruits have average fleshiness with slightly more seed than other Peterson varieties. Fruit flavor is sweet and rich, with a hint of citrus. Smaller fruit than other Peterson varieties, typically less than eight ounces, but bears more number of fruits.

Potomac Pawpaw bears large, fleshy fruits with sweet and rich flavor. Fruit texture is firm, but smooth. Trees more upright and less spreading in habit than other varieties of pawpaw.

Rappahannock is a superior tree. Ripe, yellow fruits show well among the foliage, because of the unique, horizontal habit of the leaves. Rappahannock fruit is large and symmetrical, with sweet, superior flavor.

'Shenandoah' is consistently ranked as the most popular Peterson Pawpaw. Fruit has smooth texture, sweet fruity flavor and yields good crops of large fruit with few seeds. Texture is firmer than wild pawpaws but softer than other varieties.

Susquehanna' is an outstanding pawpaw. Large fruits with rich, sweet flavor, exceptional fleshiness, and firm buttery texture. An especially beautiful ornamental specimen tree in the home landscape.

'Wabash' Pawpaw fruit has sweet, rich flavor and medium firm, smooth flesh. The overall fruit quality and quantity on 'Wabash' is excellent. Trees offer good productivity.
