Wearing hats with pawpaw.
I've planted Sasq, Shenan, Allegheny, IXL and Atwood last fall. Some from Cricket Hill and the rest from Edible Landscaping.
All are doing great. I took off the shading at the start of summer just to see how susceptible they are to sunburn (some say I have to shade them, some say I don't). A couple of leaves here and there developed barely noticeable pale green/yellow spots, but no major damage to the foliage ever happened here in GA (hot, humid subtropics). And this season was hot and dry AF. I had to water them regularly. All 5 are doing well so far. Couple just started to yellow to go into dormancy. Allegheny being 5' tall set round (flower) buds already. I'm not expecting any fruit though, 'cause the other 4 are only 1-2 foot tall (no pollinator).
I really wanna plant Rappahannock, 'cause the foliage horizontal to the ground looks soo cool.
Love your videos, very informative and educational. After almost seven years, we finally had two of our dozen or so trees "grown from seed" set fruit but unfortunately didn't make it to maturity. Hopefully, next year we may have home grown pawpaw to enjoy!
Keep up the great videos…
Love me some pawpaw content
I hope in the coming years i can visit the festival you hold. It looks like a great experience
World's best fruit, not a chance! It's an interesting fruit and I have some growing on my property, but the fruit is not something I would ever pay money for if they were sold at a market. Again…, it's an interesting fruit, with unique flavour, but that's about as far as it goes. There are countless fruits in the world that would beat a pawpaw in a taste challenge, heck…, a good homegrown muskmelon can have ten times more complex and interesting tropical flavours than a pawpaw!
pawpaw is not north americas largest fruit. as north america includes mexico and there is like 1-2 fruits bigger there.
and before someone says central america.. that is part of north america, there are only 7 continents.
arguably several types of avocado are also bigger. "from mexico" even though they were bred to be bigger in USA or other non verified areas.
