CERTIFIED ORGANIC PLANT
Pollination: An Ultra-Select seedling pawpaw or any other
grafted or seedling pawpaw tree will pollinate. For good pollination, plant
trees 8-15 ft away from each other only. Pawpaws are not male and female, but
rather have “male and female” flower parts on each flower. Every tree is
capable of bearing fruit if pollinated well with pollen from another
genetically different pawpaw tree. Hand pollination results in heaviest fruit
set. Pawpaw

Resistant to: Pawpaws are generally remarkably disease and
insect resistant. See our pawpaw growing article for full information.
Ripening: Mid-Season (Mid September in KY)
Site requirements: Full sun location for best fruit
production. Pawpaws will grow in shade but produce much less fruit. Pawpaws
tolerate a range of soil types provided the planting location is well drained
and there is heavy mulch and plenty of fertilizer and water. Protected
locations, such as on the South, East or West side of a building is ideal on
very windy sites are recommended.
Size at maturity: 15-20′ tall and wide, depending on
location, care and pruning to reduce height. We recommend heading them at about
10″ and removing suckers, both of which keep the trees very manageable and
small.
