Pawpaws do not come "true to seed", however, I am familiar with the 
seeds' parentage.  These are all from "select trees", meaning they are 
either named varieties (Shenandoah, Prolific, etc.) or from seedlings 
from named varieties or selected by humans from the wild.  I have no 
wild pawpaws near my orchard on the property due to much logging over 
many years.  Any of my select seedling trees are constantly being 
evaluated for "goodness".  Any "badness" results in those trees becoming 
rootstock for other selects.  Several of my select seedlings are 
producing large, tasty fruit.  But I did not create specific crosses.  I 
rely on native gnats and flies for that.

They have had their cold season and are ready to plant!

If you are interested, they are 10 for $2.50 + postage.  Expect 50%
germination, as for all Pawpaws.  Send me an email atrosholdt@erols.com

Happy growing!
