Pawpaw Seedlings. 6.20.19 |
Pawpaw seedlings require shade. They die in full sun, according to what i have read.
Each of these four pots has about 6 planted seeds. I stratified them in wet paper towel, in ziplock bags, in the fridge, from September to April.
Growing pawpaws from seeds is a long term proposition. Most likely, if they do survive and bear fruit, and if I survive that long, it will be around 6 to 8 years before we see anything.
Meanwhile, with the recent heat spell, only one of my four pawpaw trees is looking good. The others have smaller, paler leaves. I don't know if they will survive. All of the tiny fruits fell off.
