If those acetogenins were so toxic I would be dead a long ago because we used to have all these soursop family fruits at home. Custard apple, soursop, etc. When it was season, we would eat them almost daily. We even make juice with the soursop, it's better than eating it, unless you get the very sweet cultivar. Hard to intoxicate yourself since the fruit is so different when ripe and unripe. It gets very soft to the touch and you can smell the fruit. That's why it unfortunately doesn't make it a good supermarket fruit, it's too delicate for transport and spoils in a few days if not eaten as soon as it ripens.

Great explanation. I have both seedlings and two different Cultivars. I hand pollinate between them and enjoy delicious fruit in September! It takes about 4 years for grafted pawpaws to flower and begin to produce fruit, about 6 years for seedlings.

Once they get to 15 years you pull them out and put another one or would you let a new one grow from a sucker and graft it?

Watching your videos makes me want to get everything pawpaw out there. I've got a few so far: Shenandoah and Sunflower (just got today), Wells, KSU Benson & KSU Atwood just got them a few days back. Most online shops don't have any available now. I got mine from a local shop(about 90 miles away from me, but I could get there and pick in person). I plan on getting Susquehana and a few more cultivars they have at this nursery. I was not able to get more earlier today because I thought I have enough already. Like I said, after I came home and watched more of your videos, I am definitely going back to this nursery and get more. They don't have everything, but I saw they have Potomac, Susquehana, and I think there is another one. They are so expensive though.

What is the best american persimmon? I had prok from edible landscaping but it died over the winter and I never got to try it. I also have rossianka, miss kim, and chocolate that lived but no where near ready to fruit. I'm in Indiana, so a bit on the cold side. I thought about getting elmo but I'm just not sure which to go with. I do like the native persimmons here but I find them a bit mealy in texture and they have a weird chemical flavor if you don't let them completely turn to mush in the fridge. I far prefer the jelly texture, like with hachiya. I'm lucky to have wild pawpaw and persimmon while I wait for my trees to grow at least. Though persimmon trees are hard to find. Would like to see some more reviews of your varieties. They are very helpful. I have some seedling strawberries from Japan that I am working on also. Much superior to American and French but very finicky. Your videos are definitely underrated.

I bet fish emulsion fertilizer would work as well. I mixed some with water and fertilized my figs. I had flies show up within minutes. It might not last as long as fish heads, especially diluted, though. However, it would be inconspicuous.

No one ever talks about plant spacing. I've read 8ft. and that is how I planted them. Mine are in direct sun most of the day. I think if you plant the tree in more shade, you will get less fruit and the tree will be larger but more spindly like a wild understory one. Then you would need to space them apart to keep them from intertwining. Just my opinion, I'm no big time grower, but I did get my first of 8 trees to have 8 clusters this year. It's closest neighbor had its first bloom but after a late frost, only 8 blooms survived. I suspect some were either self fertilized or were fertilized by the 5 blooms. I also brought a branch of blossoms from a woods and hand pollinated from those blooms.

Hi, congrat. Any advice on persimmon chipping? You used dormant scionwood from the fridge for spring grafting? How did you store it? You have more success with t budding over chip budding? For successful chipping you on persimmon spring and late summer also working? Works june budding with current years growth? Any advice of cambium matching? Thanks
@PeterEntwistleАй бұрын
Nice! You just reminded me I still have to graft some persimmon scions. I'm in the UK, so temperature-wise I guess we should be good here for grafting most of the summer.

I can’t believe you have luck in June. It’s in the mid 90s here in Texas in June. You must be in a lot cooler climate. I graft as soon as the buds start breaking on persimmon. On pecan I wait until the leaves just emerge. I’m needing to graft some good American persimmons next year to a bunch of wild persimmons in my pasture. I’ve always only grafted Asian persimmons.

What are you using as root stock? I have some wild American persimmons growing on my property and some are about 3 foot tall. Can I simply do this with a clipping off of a Saijo? Do I use this years growth or last years growth? Thanks.
@jamesbarron1202Ай бұрын
Cut dormant (Jan, Feb) new fresh growth that grew the prior year and store above freezing in the fridge in a plastic bag with a folded up barely wet paper towel that has had all the water squeezed out of it. Too much moisture will cause mold but you need some moisture in the bag. The scion needs to be dormant and grafted to active growth. I’m in Texas and it gets hot here fast (we were in the 90s in Feb this year) so I graft as soon as I see green buds pushing. Heat kills our late grafts. I wrap aluminum foil (shiny side out) around my cut area only, to reflect heat.

I have a pawpaw which is self-fertile. It is the only plant on the property and, in fact, in the entire area. Flowers dependably every year and produces abundantly. You’re right about the flowers developing at different times. The flowers on this tree mature over a span of days to weeks. Not grafted and not any named variety. So make of this as you will.

I have 2 Pawpaw trees about 6 years old now. This is the first year that I have little Pawpaw's forming after bloom. The trees were only a foot tall when I planted them. They are now over 6 feet tall. I am very happy this spring! I only babied them the first 3 years after planting. Now I literally don't have to do anything to them other than throw some manure around them once a year. They maintain their own shape well and we get plenty of rain here in east Tennessee. I did water them weekly during a particularly dry summer but that's it. One is a Susquehanna, and the other is a Mango cultivar. The Susquehanna matured about a year earlier than the Mango.

I've heard of dogs and especially foxes and coyotes eating all the paw pows. If they don't eat to much it keeps fleas and tics down. Poor creatures how many eat to much as they are 3/4 th starving in the wild and someone shots them cause they think they have rabies or distemper. True story were paw pows are plentiful. Give u the shakes if eat to many at one time.

I have three Shenandoah out of 8 or 9 pawpaws in my yard here in Wisconsin, and they are really productive, and occasionally grows a monster fruit! I hand cross pollinate with Prolific.
@johnwilcox40782 ай бұрын
Thanks for the info, you have some beautiful trees! I live in Wisconsin and have successfully grown pawpaws for over a decade. No thought was ever given to growing them in shade because the sun is not as direct here. For best fruit production, full sun is required. There is also no such thing as sun burn here, so it is not necessary to paint the trunks white. But severe winter temperatures can kill small trees and seedlings, and frost during blossom time is possible. But that goes with the territory being 100 miles north of it's natural range!

I’m asking in part because of the other members of that family I’ve had from having grown up and visiting Latin America, that particular flavor is super amazing to me. I buy Guanabana/Graviola or soursop juice at some local Latin stores. If this cultivar resembles those fruit the most, I really want it, but heard tropical treat may have more of what people call the mango flavor that you seem to label as more of a “moya” flavor versus the banana and melon flavors of other cultivars.
