I got a pound of PA Golden Paw Paw from John Gordon fairly late, maybe early June. Simply planting them in a warm greenhouse (80-85F) in a peat mix germinated about 90%. They took about 6-7 weeks to pop. Im assuming they were in cold storage over the winter.

NAFEX Members --

I have some fresh pawpaw seeds that I would like to germinate.  Last year I kept gathered some fresh seed, put them in moist peat moss in a plastic bag, kept them in the refrigerator over winter,and potted them in the spring.  None germinated. 

Would appreciate it if someone had some ideas on how I should proceed this year.

Thanks very much.
