Planting & Care
1. Planting: Paw Paws prefer a partial sun location, needing no more than five hours of sunlight a day. Rich, deep, and well-draining soil are ideal conditions from planting new Paw Paws.
Dig a hole that’s just as deep as the root ball and three times as wide. Place your tree in the hole and make sure that it’s level with the surrounding ground and standing straight upwards a 90-degree angle. Backfill your hole and gently tamp the soil down to prevent air pockets from forming. Finally, give your tree a long drink of water and mulch around the tree to conserve soil moisture.
2. Watering: Paw Paw Trees require adequate soil moisture, especially in the first two years after planting. Avoid over saturating and only water when soil is dry at least 1 to 2 inches down.
3. Fertilizing: For optimal growth and fruit production, fertilize twice each year with a well-balanced fertilizer such as a 20-10-10.
4. Pruning: The best time to prune is late winter or early spring when the tree is dormant. Annual pruning will stimulate new growth.
5. Harvesting: The Paw Paw will be ready to eat when it is easily plucked from the tree. Paw Paws that are too ripe can have an astringent taste, so don’t wait until they’ve fallen.
FAQs
Do you need 2 paw paw trees to get fruit?
Yes, in order to get fruit you must have two genetically different paw paws to pollinate one another. Two paw paw trees of the same variety can successfully pollinate each other as long as they are genetically different (seed grown vs cuttings). FGT’s paw paws are seed grown with genetic variation.
Where do paw paw trees grow best?
Paw paw trees have a very large native zone that spans from the Eastern Canadian border and all the way down to Florida. However, paw paws really thrive in the central, eastern United States where temperatures are no colder than -10 F with full sun, some humidity and 6-8 hrs of sunlight per day.
How long does it take a paw paw tree to produce fruit?
Fruiting depends on many factors like the environment, pollinators and nutrients, not just age. Younger trees have the ability to produce fruit at around 5 years of age, and as the tree grows you can expect more regular and larger harvests provided that the needs of the tree are met.
How tall do paw paw trees get?
Paw paws grow to around 15-30 feet tall and around 15-30 feet wide.
