I wish I could have gone to that. My pawpaws are yet to produce their first fruit. For two years in a row, I've hand-pollinated Sunflower and NC-1 and this year had the first flowers on Mango, which is admittedly small - about 2 foot tall. The first two are becoming handsome trees, 7 and 8 foot tall, but no fruit yet.
That said, if someone wants some scion from those in late winter, I should be able to provide a limited amount.
Starting over in Virginia, I sat with a local Pawpaw grower/ enthusiast selling potted starts at a recent local fair. He does well starting them from seed, and suggests planting ‘a grove.’ He'll dig root shoots from known varieties (his favorite non grafted seedlings), then plug a few seeds in the pot with them... "There's your grove"
I didn’t trust pawpaws producing in Oregon ... and am still not convinced to try them ‘over here,’ though closer to their home range... As I age, there’s less time (or tolerance) for lengthy mistakes, but I would like to check out some of the pawpaw festivals.
‘Tex,’ suggested his favorite, an event in N. Carolina, I think it’s an annual grower’s convention - sure wound him up!
I’ve the sunny space.. if only in need of courage
