From Question and Answer Forums: What are others saying about this plant?
I am looking for Paw Paws as well. What an excellent plant.I have found that cultivar is very important when selecting Paw Paws. A named variety Paw Paw is to a common Paw Paw what a Fuji apple is to a common apple. Richard Glazer is a professional grafter, and has a Paw Paw farm near Wilmington, Ohio. His Paw Paws have won awards at the Ohio Paw Paw festival. I am copying him on this response so that he can tell us what he has available, and how we can buy them.Thanks for your interest in www.PlantPlaces.com Please let us know if we can help you find any other plants.-Brandan Jones
