- Introduction to Pawpaw North Americas Largest Native Fruit is a recording of a presentation I gave at the 2024 Pawpaw Festival in Paw Paw, WV. It covers what a pawpaw is, the history of pawpaws, the flavor texture and color of pawpaws, explains the flowers and how it uses the fetid flowers and exudates to attract unusual pollinators. I also cover propagation techniques like growing from seed, grafting, suckers, hardwood and softwood cuttings. The presentation also covers how to plant pawpaw trees, some of the common bugs, pests, diseases, and issues with pawpaw trees as well as Acetogenins. We finish by showing some of the books out there on pawpaws and provide a list of the 15 pawpaw festivals going on in 2024.

Thank you Todd for sharing your knowledge and your lecture. I'm sorry we missed the talks, but the wedding went well.
@@jevans1664 I’m glad you had a good wedding. Hopefully it works out next year.
Awesome video Todd - detailed, informative, and engaging!
@@timmccree8706 thanks bro! Hope all is well with you.
Glad you got this presentation online! A+ content!
@@heppylifestyle thank you sir. Hope you enjoyed your break. I did the Frederick fest today, Duncansville tomorrow and York next weekend. Are you doing any more this year?
@@greatescapefarms Paw Paw, WV; Long Creek Homestead; Duncansville; and York! I'm glad you're getting out and providing quality Pawpaw trees!
Yup, i'll see you in York! 🐞
We use to hunt pawpaws in my grandparents woods.
Awesome. How were they? Some wild ones are good and others are a little bitter.
Good video, but this drought is not a bad one at all, if you had mulch you'd need no rain water for the in ground plants at least. (potted plants of course totally different story)
I haven't had to water anything at all for years.
Lots of towns have yard waste places that will give you unlimited free mulch but you may be out in middle of no where more-so, so maybe making your own is easiest
Can pawpaw grow in Houston, Texas?
I looked up the growing zone in north Houston which shows as zone 9a/9b. I've found some information saying it will grow down to zone 8b. According to KSUs website linked below it will grow through zone 8 but there may not be enough chill hours near the gulf coast.

Great information,thank you
@@davidhart8575 you are most welcome!
@@greatescapefarms do you sell pawpaw seeds? Or any other seeds I looked on your website but didn't see any, thanks
@@davidhart8575 I'm sorry I do not sell seeds. Believe it or not it cost WAY more to get a license to sell seed than it does to sell live plants.
@@greatescapefarms really, that's something
@@davidhart8575 Guessing you are talking about the price of licensing. I agree.
Thank you!
@@WhistleLad you are most welcome
We have to stop calling it North America’s largest native fruit. It is not. It is only the largest native fruit to the US and Canada. North America’s largest native fruit is probably the Mamey Sapote in Mexico. They can be the size of a nerf football or larger.
Agreed. I'll word it correctly in future videos. Sorry for any confusion.
Well, man.... Mexico technically isn't north America. That would be central
@@bleedblue769 I won’t argue that but there are people that will. Thanks for sharing.
@@bleedblue769Mexico is 100% North America
@@bleedblue769 lol.... Central America is literally a sub section of "North America" so no, you are "technically" wrong. There is only North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica. Those are the 7 continents of the world.
I find your lack of Mulch disturbing.
Yea I don't water at all year around, I'm in his drought. I have inches of mulch. It is wet under there while neighbors grass is dying from heat
