Can you grow paw paw in Las Vegas?
paw paw perennial perfection …perfect!!
That is definitely not like any papaw (papaya) i have ever seen here is in Aus. The trees here have different fruit and leaves and the fruit have lots of small black seeds. Totally different.
They also grow here in east test about an hour from dallas
We looked forward to the paw paws ripening every year. The only American fruit they remind me of is persimmons,

John, I know it’s been a year since you made this video, but , my wife is allergic to mangos. Do you think they would have the same effect for her ?
i just order 2 paw paw tree for my backyard and i live in houston tx
I’ve found wild pawpaws bigger than that idk what you’re talking about by wild pawpaws are smaller also wild pawpaws are not good to eat till it’s turning brown or it will leave a cotton mouth sensation like an unruled persimmon will do
Oh my paw paw
What other fruit trees have deep tap roots?
I have paw paws in DC and it’s one fruit the squirrels don’t touch. Paw Paws have expanded all over my yard as they will grow a thicket. It’s an incredible fruit and you either hate it or love it.
An article I wrote about foraging in Washington, DC covering paw paws https://www.foresthillsconnection.com/animal-life/backyard-nature-the-fruits-and-nuts-of-foraging/

Real Madagascar Vanilla beans are very expensive! Are these plants/trees a possibility for the cool to warm Coastal Northern California climate? Love your channel! Very detailed information! Thank you so much!!!
Found some in the oak timber in ks. The fragrance and taste was magical.
is it easier to grow the paw paw from seeds? I live N/E Wa state…I live 3000 ft up on a mountain, i have ordered paw paw twice, 3 tree each time, and none have survived, what am i doing wrong?
Paw paw beer. That sells me.
Get more than one! We’ve had one for over ten years now & it’s produced six or seven fruit. 🙁 I’ve tried manual pollination with the luck of six or seven. LOL. We now have some more trees maturing so…. patience.
I’m 66 and when I was a little girl I’d eat pawpaws from my grandmother’s tree. She died when I was 5, and I haven’t eaten one since then…61 yrs! Oh I loved them. That was in southwest Virginia. Hers grew in a shady area that was close to a stream, so the ground stayed moist. One note to mention, some people are highly allergic to pawpaws, so if you’ve never eaten one, be cautious and don’t eat a whole one the first time. My sister breaks out in a "poison ivy" type rash just standing close to a pawpaw tree. I could eat all I wanted and never had an adverse reaction. My grandmother’s were smaller than the one you had, and hers was brighter yellow fruit. So tasty!! I didn’t know they were still around and will get some to plant!
There’s a little town in Illinois called Pawpaw , lots of Pawpaws there.
If you live in California you can grow Cherimoya, which is related to Paw Paw and similar.
It is not a tropical fruit. Look at its range. Not tropical–at best sub-tropical. Its center of origin is not the tropics. You are confusing it with papaya, which is also often called a pawpaw.
The USA is not the only country. Pawpaw is, for most of the world, the Carica papaya. You two are talking of the very little known Asimina triloba.
Can you ‘dwarf’ your Paw Paw plants for a smaller growing area and how? I live in a constantly cool (50 to 70 degrees F.) climate VERY close to the Pacific Ocean in Half Moon Bay, California. Sounds ideal, hmmm? Where can I get seeds or seedlings nearby, if you know? Sounds like a few coffee grounds in my soil mix might be desirable? Thanks!!!
Such click baiting. It’s not tropical because you can’t even grow it in the tropics.
I am growing seedlings of the purple passion in AL for sale. I have like 500 plants
Where can I get a grafted paw paw tree?
Pleaseeee where to find paw paw
Passiflora incarnata, maypop, a type of passionfruit is native to some of this region, too. A little different from P. edulis, but still like another tropical fruit native to here.
Wait… if it can grow in zone 4… technically it’s not tropical but that’s still cool!
I had been wondering about paw paws in Arizona. Worth a try I guess
So this is just a video on the Paw Paw ok
We had huge patches of these in our woods. I never knew the fruits were yummy. Wish I had tried em before we moved away:( the more I get into agriculture the more I remember from that property that was real gems I had no clue I had. So sad.
Pawpaws are unique. But you can’t pick them green. You can’t store them. You can’t juice them unless you have all day and tons of fruit.
They are said to have stellar health benefits.
Pawpaw is grow wild in Louisiana and Arkansas!
What is the genus of pawpaw?
I like your expressive enthusiasm!! Fun to listen to!!
still spamming people with your shit newsletter?
