I recall a statement (possibly on this list) that insufficient moisture (less than lots) produces a requirement for shading of pawpaw seedlings in the first year or two. Limited personal experience is in alignment with this.

Leaves on grafted trees are "mature" even when the trees are first planted so they should not need shading. A seedling tree's leaves are juvenile for a few years a perhaps the juvenile leaves do need shading. After years of seeing a lot of pawpaw seedlings, I'm not sure any need shading, though. Can anyone else confirm this, or not?
