I went to his pawpaw festival in 2019 but I didn’t see you there?!
Thank you very much, brilliant.
Veganic not organic though, please, cause of the more harmless and civilized definition, please.
Thanks for mentioning Native American Indians, Sitting Bull was a veganic vegan herbal medicine man.
Happy gardening, all the best.
Seeds of pawpaw, papiya and pumkin also kill internal worms, (useful for us on a raw veganic vegan diet).
Happy gardening, I wish you all the best.
Has anyone heard of the evidence surfacing that paw paws can cause Parkinson’s?
Which pawpaw is right if I want to grow one and I want to get a sweet juicy fruit that is easy to grow with few seeds?
How well do they handle the winds of a strong Class 3 or greater Hurricane ? Hurricane Nicholas came through my neighborhood an old growth Pecans where snapping like twigs literally wiped out over a hundred in my County and that was a class 1 Hurricane !
How many years does it take to produce the fruit
We planted a couple paw paw trees here in Michigan where we camp. I finally found some fruits to try couple years ago at a farmers market from wild foragers they were also selling mushrooms. Yum. Hoping ours do well. I will be getting more to plant for my new house.
You do not have to frikin talk that much, danm
The first time I saw a paw paw here in Alabama I was waaaay back in the forest hunting. I smelled it before I saw it and somehow instinctively I knew what it was. A tiny little bush with 3 or 4 on it. That set me on fire so I purchased one from a tree seller in the middle of nowhere who made quite a handy living out of his tree trailer. That thing took YEARS to grow. It’s about15 feet tall today and I learned what ‘way down yonder in the paw paw patch’ meant. Got those things sprouting all over the place. Unfortunately, neophyte I was I only purchased one so that tree has never produced a single one.
Can these be air layered?
Can you please tell me what is a pop up fruit? the first fruit that you showed.
I watch him 15 min and I don’t know what plant it is?Should be longer presentation about botanic and pedigree and how it survived ,I understand that is paw paw,
We looked forward to the paw paws ripening every year. The only American fruit they remind me of is persimmons,
Pawpaw will not grow in zone 4.It will grow in 5 but not 4, too cold. Not sure why he has this for zone 4
0:17 : CANADA!!!!!!!!!!
Greetings from Ontario, CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love pawpaw but don’t buy the mastodon/glacier narrative.
Can you grow this in Alaska?
nice
Guy got a big forehead could be a five head even, head like a beagle
In title "Zone 4-9". In video "zone 5-9". 🙁
i saw a few seeds for sale but prices were zany. are you selling seeds?
I am from Paw Paw, Michigan, and believe they will grow this far north.
I so wished this fruit would be available at grocery stores. 😎
Just received my seeds from Amazon yesterday… can’t wait to plant.
I lose and interest, too much diarrhea of his mouth
in canada we have some retailer that have trees that produce and survive in zone 4 close to zone 3 now
Fruit sorbets for those who don’t know fresh fruit yet, you’re great brother

Pak boleh kirimkan batang anggur nya ke indonesia atau biji nya aja juga boleh. Kalau biji nya bisa dikirim pake pos seperti surat biasa ya. Sy siap bayar pak. Makasih pak
My first experience with the pawpaw was on a creek Bank in alabama, when I found one it was half eaten but I picked it up and when I smelled it I had to taste it not even knowing if it was poisonous or not it was completely full of seeds but the taste was amazing I took pictures and done my homework then discovered what it was I found now I look for them every year
It is true that pawpaws will grow from subtropical areas in Florida and Mexico all the way up to S Canada but you should never plant the subtropical proveniences in cold climate or vice versa. Try to find a variety suited for your particular climate then you will be blessed with a good fruit harvest
Have you ever made anything with it like you have banana bread do you have you ever made bread with us or any desserts with it this is an awesome segment didn’t know this type of fruit would work and different climates I’m south of the Canadian border MN you have a wonderful day hopefully you have more stuff like kind of like that that you can do and different climates
Hi love your channel! Would you consider doing an informative video on the black sapote fruit tree in Florida’s Zone 9B. I’m just hard pressed to find videos catering to my Zone 9B I have a Facebook group that is growing leaps and bounds and we’re always seeking information and suggestions. Thank you for your help.🍑🥬
I lived in Frederick (Thurmont to be exact) the majority of my life. My family still lives in the area
My mother talked about eating pawpaw when she was a little girl in virginia near east coast. They also made little people and animals by sticking sticks in them. I’m 77. Always wanted to taste.
pawpaw is the only native tropical fruit we have in north america
I am am interested but I live in Nevada. Alkaline soil will it live ?
Native Americans brought this tree to the east.
One of my favorite memories is being with my dear grandfather on a pawpaw picking expedition. I couldn’t have been more than 6 or 7 years old ( so, early 1960’s??). He taught me the "picking up pawpaws, putting em in the basket" song. It was especially funny to us because we kids called our grandfather PawPaw.
When I was a kid I remember a paw paw tree , but the fruits weren’t this big – about the size of a pecan .
Can you transplant a 5 year old tree or trees so you can have fruit quickly?
Would be nice if you included a few seeds with the book, more people would probably buy it if you did! I would! I may still do that, but it would be nice to get the seeds!
Can anyone speak to the neurotoxin that is found in pawpaw and are they safe to eat.
Just love your channel!
You make my mouth watery… I have bought 2 trees last years but I did not make it… I have ordered 2 more trees and be here by mid February… can’t wait to try out
This is the most fantastic video that I have seen on Pawpaws. That’s it, you have successfully convinced me.
nail a coffee can to a long pole like bamboo to scoop from underneath the fruit on high branches. We use this for apples all the time.
Sorry I don’t go with it migrated from tropical fruit. From somewhere. God is very created and smarter than man. He is the greatest gardner. When man messes with anything to try to improve on, he messes it up. I would love to get a tree from the woods in virginia where my mama lived. She also talked about persimmons and loved them. I have had those. They are wonderful when ripe. My friends friend grows them here in florida. Not the sorta flat ones.
Has anyone found these? I can’t find where to buy them
It’s also called “Indiana Banana”👍
