Anyone have access to a few Paw Paw seeds they’d be willing to share?

Thanks

I grew Pawpaw from seed. They're slow growers and the seeds are a little trickier to germinate. I'd suggest buying seedlings if you can find them, unless you're dead set on starting your own. We got some free from the Ten Million Trees project that looked great. Included tubes and stakes too!

Since posting this I actually found someone local that had a few. I did not realize there were any Paw Paw around here and when asked where his source was he wouldn’t tell me. Apparently folks guard the location of their Paw Paw patches like it’s some big secret national secret or something. Who knew. The seeds remind me a lot of a persimmon seed only bigger. Has a membrane around the outside the you have to clean off. I may go ahead and spend the money on a couple of seedlings but dang they’re expensive.
