I recently moved from Illinois to Connecticut. A friend of mine gave me a pot with 3 pawpaw seeds. All of them germinated and had a nice taproot going when I finally put them in the ground last Saturday. Something dug them all up. ๐ญ
My plan is to buy a couple of pawpaws already sprouted in a pot and cage/fence them until they're bigger.
If y'all have never tasted a pawpaw fruit, you're missing out.
That's such a bummer! I've not met many New Englanders who know about pawpaw, so I hope you have an easy time finding some locally adapted ones. Or is there a nursery you're planning to order from?
I was planning to place an order online, but now that you mention it, I think I should say least check around locally first. Connecticut is teeming with nurseries. Thanks! ๐
