Can’t get enough pawpaw fruit? Want to grow a pawpaw tree?
If you haven’t tried pawpaw fruit, many people describe the flavour of its silky, yellow flesh as tropical.
While it’s the largest fruit native to North America, it’s difficult to find the fruit for sale.
Yet it’s easy to grow.
That’s why many gardeners and small farmers plant pawpaw trees.
In this episode, Donna and Steven talk with pawpaw expert Adam D’Angelo to get tips on growing pawpaw trees.
We talk about:
- Where to grow pawpaw trees
- Pawpaw tree hardiness (yes, there are pawpaw growers in Canada!)
- Grafting pawpaw trees
- How to grow pawpaw from seed
- Pawpaw breeding
- What makes pawpaw a great fruit crop for home gardeners and small farmers
D’Angelo is the founder of Project Pawpaw, a crowd-funded pawpaw research and breeding program.
