The 7 I still need to decide on...They've grown.
Making protective cages for seeds & little trees
The planted ones. That stupid $70 tree...got beat up by stupid sheep. 4yrs and now shorter. Ugh.
Rest growing and doing well.

We have pawpaws that grows wild here. I don't know the variety but the are really good if you can catch them at peak ripness. When they start to turn from green to yellow green, are a little spongy and pull away from the tree easily.
I really hope your pawpaw does well for you, they are a unique treat. Most people, wouldn't even recognize a pawpaw if they were looking straight at it, let alone think about trying one.

Nice no rabbit is going to get in that! However, if you have the wire, I think I would do tops and another warp around also. Field mice and voles can get into some pretty tight spots and get hungry during the winter. I read this in the fedco catalog that came today, hope it's helpful.5 cages wrapped and ready for use. Debating putting tops on them, too.

One year tree to demonstrate how'd it look in the ground. The bare legs will go, hopefully, all the way into the ground.

Ordered three trees. NC-1 Pawpaw, Pennsylvania Golden & Prolific Pawpaw.
Thinking maybe planting them on a slope, right beyond the leachfield. Probably plant my little yearling wilds amongst them.
Drew a quick map plan.
Mulberry haven't rooted yet, so not planted yet.
One purple still to be planted.
Then just the cultivars + 4 wilds. After that, seeds!
Though, I wonder if I should leave 2 spots open for the wild Powhatan Pawpaw seeds...
I need more tposts, fencing and tubing...

Cultivars are here, one got damaged. Already emailed about it.
Watered and waiting to be planted by tomorrow night.
You can see my local, lush yearlings in the background.
augh, bad angle. Three cultivar spots in a row, then two will go offset and in between. Got 4 spots ready with tposts. 4 trees will go in this year, 3 next year. Gotta add fencing wire and dig holes.
