Hi,
Could someone(s) please let me know how best to treat paw paw seeds for  planting out. I've heard they need 3 months cold, is the refridgerator, freezer, or a winter out-of-doors preferable? Also, when is the best time to plant them? I'm in the mountains of north carolina where some odd winter days can range from 30 to 70 degrees outside.
Also, does anyone have suggestions on what kind of asian pear rootstock to use for a sandy upland soil. My farm is also dry, it's one of the driest climates (a mountain microclimate) east of the mississippi. I appreciate Nafex and you'all. The conference was great
