North America's largest native fruit, pawpaws have become more widely planted in recent years, often with disappointing results. While pawpaw trees are hardy, vigorous, and generally free of both pests and disease, they have some unique needs and peculiarities. Come learn how to germinate, plant, graft, and pollinate for delicious, tropical-tasting fruit. If you've never tasted pawpaws, keep an eye out for our fall harvest meetup! Young trees will be available for sale.
Laurie Lockwood, with 40+ years of various farming, homesteading and gardening, and 15+ years growing pawpaw trees, will be hosting this event.
