Size/Age: 2-year grafted tree, 18-24 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 5-8
Our grafted 'Shenandoah' Pawpaw trees represent a significant upgrade from seedling pawpaws, offering consistent fruit quality and earlier production. These trees have been carefully grafted onto robust rootstock to ensure the exact genetic traits of this superior variety are preserved.
The 'Shenandoah' variety is prized for its exceptionally large fruits (averaging 5-7 ounces), high flesh-to-seed ratio, and rich, sweet flavor with hints of vanilla custard and tropical fruits. This selection was developed for its reliable production and excellent fruit quality.
Unlike seedling pawpaws which can take 7-8 years to begin fruiting, these grafted specimens typically begin producing within 3-4 years of planting. This makes them an excellent investment for hunters and wildlife enthusiasts looking to establish productive food sources more quickly on their property.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Earlier fruit production compared to seedlings (3-4 years vs. 7-8 years)
Larger, more consistent fruit crops attract more wildlife
Creates predictable food sources for setting up hunting locations
Known genetics ensure reliable performance
Planting Instructions: Plant in partially shaded locations, especially when young. As trees mature, they become more sun-tolerant. Space 15-20 feet apart. Pawpaws benefit from being planted in groups of 2-3 trees for optimal pollination and fruit set.
Care Requirements: Water deeply and regularly during the first two growing seasons. Apply organic mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Protect from strong winds and late spring frosts which can damage flowers and reduce fruit set.
Bulk Price: $40 each for 3+ trees
Shipping Notes: Ships in a container with soil to protect root system. These valuable grafted trees require prompt planting and initial protection from extreme conditions. Detailed care instructions included with each shipment.
