Want to start a champion grove? Plant our Ultra Select trees. Pawpaws are our specialty.
Only the world's most premium pawpaw genetics go into our Ultra-Select Pawpaw line. We source our seed from carefully selected superior fruits often weighing in at least 1/4 - 1 lb with excellent taste and texture. The genetics of our seeds are mostly derived from high quality named cultivars including Peterson, Lehman, Cothron, KSU advanced selections and KSU cultivars and represent the highest grade pawpaw genetics in the world.
Pawpaws grow similar to the parent seed, therefore excellent pawpaws have a high likelihood of excellent offspring. We have seen this in action since planting our first Ultra Select pawpaw seeds in 2014. That being said, low quality or random wild genetics always produce mediocre or poor quality pawpaws. Don't risk it if you want excellent, productive trees. Our Ultra Select trees absolutely contain some of the very best genetics in the world and many will become champion trees!
We start our Ultra-Select seed off in our nursery-made, very rich organic potting mix and grow them for several seasons. We only sell the robust specimens with excellent root systems and cull weaklings and those with apparent foliar disease susceptibility.
You need at least 2 different pawpaw trees for cross pollination in order to get fruit. See also our BUNDLES
Our Ultra-Select seedlings should begin to bear fruit in about 3-5 years from planting, under good growing conditions (decent soil, organic fertilizer, irrigation as needed, tree protection, mulch, etc.) Detailed planting instructions are delivered via email.

Plant them at least 6-12 feet apart, but not much further than that. Pawpaws cannot be grown in containers for more than a couple of years. See our Pawpaw FAQ for much more information, link above.
Pollination:You must have at least 2 genetically different pawpaw trees present in order to get fruit set. 2 Ultra Select seedlings will pollinate each other, or any other pawpaw tree included grafted varieties. Plant closely together to ensure good pollination prospects (6-12' apart).
