rub their antlers on anything, including my pawpaws. On the other hand, groundhog, squirrels and raccoons are likely to eat the fruit. Harvest as soon as they are ripe or something else will.

You can plant new plants and trees:
1) when the ground is not frozen.
2) when daytime temperatures are above freezing (32??F) and below 90??F.
3) when extreme weather (blizzard, hail, torrential rain, etc.) is not in the forecast. Be sure to keep plants watered if you're transplanting in warm and/or dry weather.
If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

They are still small but, they have leafed out and we put wire cages around them for protection from the resident wildlife munchers we have living here on our farm. We also mulched around them to keep down weeds, fertilize as suggested, and always remain on top of watering when weather demands. We hope for the best. Pawpaws are a delicious, very rare treat, unless you're lucky.
