Logee's Paw Paw Tree Set

Paw Paw trees are not self-fertile, meaning they require a different variety nearby to cross-pollinate and produce fruit. This set includes two distinct, grafted varieties—Shenandoah and KSU Atwood—specifically chosen to ensure successful pollination and a reliable harvest.

Yes, Paw Paws are surprisingly adaptable and can thrive in large containers, though they will eventually require a substantial pot to accommodate their root system. If you choose to keep them in containers, ensure the pot has excellent drainage and be prepared to up-pot as the tree matures.

Because these are grafted trees rather than seedlings, they are much closer to maturity. You can typically expect to see your first fruit within 2 to 3 years of planting, provided they receive adequate sunlight and care.

These trees are remarkably low-maintenance. They are naturally resistant to most pests and diseases, so you won't need to worry about chemical sprays. Simply ensure they are watered regularly, especially during dry spells, and provide a balanced fertilizer in the spring to support growth.

These trees are hardy in USDA zones 5 through 9. If you live in a region that experiences extreme winters or very hot summers within this range, they should perform well, provided they are planted in a spot that offers the appropriate light conditions.

While they need to be close enough to cross-pollinate, they shouldn't be crowded. If planting in the ground, aim for about 8 to 15 feet of spacing between the two trees to allow for proper airflow and root development as they reach their mature height.
