Pennsylvania Golden Pawpaw Tree

They both need to be grafted varieties and different from one another.

Yes. I live in Vermont (zone 4-5). A man from a town north of me offered to give some away on a virtual notice board called Front Porch Forum. I had thought about planting some decades ago, but wasn't sure if I'd like the fruit. When I tasted his, I could have kicked myself for not starting some when I'd first heard about Paw Paw. They were so good, and apparently so abundant that he was giving them away. He had five gallon pails filled with them.

I believe that information is in the plant description. Usually 18 - 24 inches.

Unless you have a big, deep pot they wouldn't be a good candidate. Pawpaws have deep taproots that are very fragile, growing down 10 inches before they even sprout out of the ground. Most likely not a good bet.

Hello - I actually planted 16 paw paw trees in Paw Paw IL (zone 5a) last Spring. We had -30F temperatures for a few days. All of them survived except 2. There was no protection provided but we did have about 1 ft of snow on the ground. That being said, it probably wouldn't be bad to protect them during the winter. I did no pruning whatsoever the first year (last year) nor do I plan to do any pruning this year (2019). Overall, paw paws in general are pretty tough trees that (in my experience) have a good shape and require very little pruning. I've had a seed grown paw paw in zone 5B Chicago for about 10 years in my garden as well.

Mother Nature can be so unpredictable. :-) Here is a guide that tells you exactly what to do if you can't plant right away: //www.starkbros.com/growing-guide/article/how-to-delay-planting

Mine is growing within 50 yards of a black walnut tree and is growing extremely well! Not exactly close but within the same area. Paw paws are slow to start but once they take off, they are incredible in the growth rate category. I currently have 5 growing in my orchard bear each other and all ate growing in partial shade/ the Georgia sun. Good luck to you!

Mine were in full sun on a water system in Zone 8 and they did not do well. 2 died one is trying to grow, purchased 2 years ago.

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.

Well the best thing is to get it in the ground right away. An alternative that I use way way too much is to keep moist and in a shaded area. I use my garage to store plants I can not get to right away sometime for months. Do not let dry out!!! Those small pots can go dry pretty fast
