Why did you choose this?

I have 2 pawpaw trees and want to add a different kind

I want to plant this in a zone 9B but apparently that may be too HOT?  Other venders seem to think it would do well here as long as it gets properly established and watered regularly.   Does anyone have any advice / experience?

I purchased two Paw paw trees. One of them died and the other seems to be doing OK. I am probably a little lax on watering them. Therefore I take responsibility.

When will this be back in stock for Missouri? Hoping to start an orchard next year.

Packaged perfectly, large plant, great graft union.
Stark does a great job with consistency with pawpaws. This plant arrived packaged well, graft union was healed over. Plant was over 2 feet tall. I can't wait for it to fruit.
