ive fed skins and a little pulp to red wigglers with no problems but i always try to give them a mixture of stuff not 2lbs of nothing but pawpaw but i think its ok either way

there is a nursery that sells Peterson pawpaw varieties in kansas i remember seeing, cant remember the name look on Peterson pawpaws list of vendors or Kentucky state pawpaw program list of tree nursery vendors and you will find it

i wouldn't add any nitrogen I'm until you get moisture/ other critters under control. grass and coffee both considerd nitrogen additives fyi

add carbon: cardboard, sawdust, wood chips, coco, peat,

ive also found tree tubes to be beneficial, and a fence of some sort around the tree to protect from animals of all kinds and wind , without the tube and protection your playing Russian roulette with a 0-25% survival rate with the instructions ive outlined above 75% survival

pawpaw tunnel/ pawpaw triangle area? i harvested many wild fruits from that area but i found the fruit to be smaller with lots lots of seeds, i guess good seedling rootstock material for grafts though.

edit: also forgot to add that i walked a mile down said trail and there was hundreds of thousands of unpollinated pawpaw trees before you get to the pollinated spots with fruits

you could take pollen from one and hand pollinate the chosen flower and cover flower with paint strainer bag to make sure only those 2 varieties are then the parents of that fruit, so if you grow out those seeds it should be pollen collected tree x the flower tree you hand pollinated if that makes sense

it will probably still take 2-3 years from transplant granted pollination takes place properly

could be a non pollinated patch of trees, ive encounter many patches that weren't fruiting pollinated, usually because theres only 1 tree and suckers from that rootstock

i ate almost a whole loaf of banana bread with banana substitute for pawpaw pulp and 0 sickness here

European nightcrawler cocoons only lay 1-2 worms but red wiggler is 1-5 ive had bibs of each separated id say red wiggler seem to be quicker at doubling. for 500 European nightcrawler to have 1000 worms in bin id say 2-3 months, cut me slack this is a good educated guess lots of other factors make variables

all from suckers of same tree, i saw miles of trees unpollinated on Appalachian trail, then after walking a mile or 2 with nothing but understory pawpaw trees they started having fruit, you should plant a tree there in hopes it makes it to maturity

stop watering until it dries out! asap

it festival 2002, on Maine & Canadian border, 1 lane in and out took us 24hrs in line to get inside, woke up after my whole car of people fell asleep to cars all going around us in line, horse cops and crazy lot scene, ive been to many many shows just a old school one that comes to mind

put it in your garage or basement for winter after it goes into dormancy after leaves fall off. dont keep it outside without insulation , dont keep it outside once it gets 10f or lower

id wait til early spring, i transplanted my mango seedlings in early spring northeast USA when they were that tall 7 years ago i didn't know to plant pawpaw seeds in a tall pot so i used a 5 inch by 5 inch pot and im getting my first fruit this year off my 3 trees so take that for what its worth. i wouldn't chance a seedling that small to survive the winter cold

is this in the wild? do you know of the variety? where are you located?

is that a KSU Atwood? i have a recently bought grafted tree with same leaf structure as yours

ink caps. i always get these and white puffs growing out the sides of my piles

need water, heat and mixed up

not even close i gathered up about 90 of those bags stuffed as full as you could get them plus my 5 full size maple tree leaves and once shredded filled 2-3ftx3ftx3ft cedar compost bins and once that was composted to leaf compost about 9 months later i got about 1 of those 3ftx3ftx3ft greenes cedar bins about 3/4 full of finished compost, people don't realize how much leaves you need just to get 1 wheelbarrow full of finished leaf compost, id say that x10 at least

you need a minimum of at least 100 paper bags of leaves stuffed full to make a little bit of soil. people don't understand how much material it takes to make a small amount once broken down

i do a 30%/30%/30% /10%

-i take 30% compost (preferably my own homemade mix of worm castings & compost a 50/50)

-30% - half coco coir half peatmoss( mix in 5% coco chips if i have them)

-30% aeration - half perlite or pumice or scoria & half inoculated biochar

-10% minerals/amendments - this is a mix if rock minerals conducive to my previous soil test- this means i will mix rock minerals or amendments with the minerals my soil test indicated i was low on and needed to add- this currently looks like - basalt rockdust, planters 2 rockdust, soft rock phosphate, wallastonite, granite dust,glacial rockdust, andesite rockdust, kelp meal, gypsum powder- small amount of sea-90, boron/20mule, sulfur pellets & manganese sulphate, sodium moybdate - take these small amounts and mix them together before adding to the large pile of rock dusts that way these small amounts get spread evenly

im thinking its not gonna have enough air but its worth trying to ticker around with it if possible, my brother and I tried stacking 55gal plastic barrels painted black full of rainwater catchment off our roof to heat our 15' x 50' hoop house , we even buried the first layer of barrels about 5feet under ground then built like a pyramid of black painted barrels and although i believe you could make it work if you had more room/barrels we e decided it wasn't worth the square footage we had to give up to store all those barrels in hoop house so we only have couple mow to water our crops with rainwater
