If you really want seedlings, just plant some pawpaw seeds. They can take a long time (months) to pop up, so don't give up on them too soon if you do plant some seeds next year. Also, if you are going to do that, let us know and we can provide more tips.

However, if you are wanting to plant pawpaws for the fruit, consider buying some grafted cultivars. You'll likely get much better tasting/quality fruit if you pick the right ones. Nolin River Nut Tree Nursery is a good, local source for those.

I got mine online from Edible Landscaping. Pawpaw seems to take pretty well to being barerooted and shipped...I have a brown thumb and all mine took. I think Edible Landscaping is based in Virginia, so the climate shouldn't be too different.

If they don't have to be local and you can wait until spring, The Missouri Department of Conservation would be an inexpensive way to go. Order after November 1 for spring delivery. Missouri Dept of Conservation

I just found a paw paw on my property (walk right past it every day and didn't know what it was) and I understand that they need more than one to produce fruit. I also understand that they are difficult to transplant, so if anyone has any seedlings or saplings, I would love to have 1 or 2. Please see my trade list to see if anything interests you. Thanks!

Experience with Fruit from paw-paw seedlings
Q
Comments (1)
Well, that depends from where the seed came from. Usually with almost all fruits, they use a special type of rootstock variety that will specifically not taste very good, but this may likely not be true for pawpaws. If the seed came from a named variety, then it's likely to taste similar to the good pawpaw, or not that much worse. In rare cases seedlings can be better, oftentimes similar but a little bit different, sometimes a little bit worse. Grafting will often result in a smaller sized tree that will produce fruit earlier in it's lifespan, but again, this may not be as true for pawpaws, since I don't think they're using any particular special variety for the rootstock. Probably doing it for pure convenience of propagation.

Thanks guys I will check those out. We recently purchased a small farm and I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for spring but it looks like that might yield best result. -Hah brandon River Nut Tree Nursery is about an hr and 20 min drive from the farm. Maybe I'll take a road trip.

i dont know if MO will ship trees out state ...

but i suggest you contact your local COUNTY extension office.. and find out is the soil conservation dist office has tree sales in KY ...

almost by definition ... you are doing soil conservation ... so take advantage of local sources ...

all that said.. road trip is always good ...

Missouri ships out of state, but agreed, if KY has a similar program that would be best. Cost also being a factor.

You can't beat MO. Nursery. They ship out of state and their minimum purchases are (10) plants at a very low cost.
