The Kentucky State University/PawPaw Foundation
Pawpaw Workshop
September 11, 2004
Kentucky State University and the PawPaw Foundation will host a Pawpaw
Workshop on September 11, 2004, at the KSU Research Farm in Frankfort,
Kentucky. The workshop objective is to discuss progress in the pawpaw
regional variety trials, cultivar development, seedling and clonal
propagation, germplasm collection, postharvest fruit physiology and
handling, marketing and product development. This workshop will be a
unique experience for scientists, nurserymen, entrepreneurs, and
enthusiasts to share information about the production and uses of
pawpaw. In addition to presentations on pawpaw, the workshop will also
offer an opportunity to taste pawpaw fruit, tour the Kentucky State
University pawpaw orchards, view demonstrations on how to propagate
pawpaw, and allow participants a chance to sample pawpaw recipes. The
workshop will have a number of invited speakers; however, there will
also be a poster session and show-and-tell session about pawpaw for
non-scientists and enthusiasts. The workshop will be limited to 150
attendees. Pre-Registration is required before the meeting and must be
paid by September 1, 2004. The registration fee, which includes lunch
and dinner, is $20.00 for PawPaw Foundation members and is $30.00 for
non-PPF members; however, the non-member registration fee also includes
a 6 month introductory PPF membership. Please contact Ms. Jean Ward at
502-597-6174 for information on how to register for the Pawpaw Workshop
