yes - we have great access to the corvallis repository - joseph postman, their curator, has a great relationship with the Home Orchard Society, so we pick fruit in the fall there for our tasting shows. i have several seedling pawpaws and one grafted 'sunflower' cultivar, all of which ripen nicely in oregon city. i don't have any space for more pawpaw now at the HOS arboretum, but i do have a new seedling patch at my house that i am waiting to sprout this summer.
oh - any special grafting advice for grafting pawpaw? dormant season cleft grafts or summer budding?
thanks for the advice,
karen

When I had pawpaws in Illinois I grafted 1-2 additional varieties on the tree. Partly for space saving and partly for pollination. For awhile I hand pollinated, eventually the flowers were out of reach but by then there were enough flowers to attract some flies and they pollinated OK.
Karen if you are in Oregon in the Willamette Valley you might want to concentrate on earlier varieties. Are you aware of the pawpaw at the Germplasm repository at Corvallis?
