I�ve collected unusual fruit trees for years, and these pawpaw seeds didn�t disappoint. They require patience and care, but that�s part of the fun. The seedlings are thriving, and I�m thrilled to add pawpaw to my collection.
My kids and I planted these seeds as a little family project. It�s been exciting to see them sprout after waiting through the cold stratification period. We�re all looking forward to trying pawpaws for the first time when they finally fruit.
The seeds came with simple instructions, and I followed them closely. Germination wasn�t instant, but I expected that. Now, several seedlings are growing strong, and I�m already planning where to plant them permanently.
I was worried about getting dud seeds, but these were the real deal. They looked plump and viable upon arrival, and after proper prep, they started germinating. Can�t wait to share pawpaws with friends who�ve never tasted them.
I planted these in pots indoors and transferred them outside once they sprouted. The young trees are growing steadily, and I�m excited to think about harvesting pawpaws down the line. Very pleased with the purchase.
