Selected fruit

Pawpaw

7 tracked varieties

Pawpaws usually need pollen from a different pawpaw cultivar. Flowers can be slow to attract pollinators, so a second cultivar nearby is important and hand pollination can boost fruit set.

Plant pawpaws close enough for beetles, flies, and other blossom visitors to move easily between them. In home orchards, closer is better.
