How to Sprout Wild Paw Paw Seeds
Sometimes called custard apples, pawpaws (Asimina triloba) occur naturally within the hardwood forests of the southeastern United States. Gardeners within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 5 to 9 can grow pawpaws with few problems, although they require partial shade when young and fast-draining soil to truly thrive. Seed propagation is the most effective method for growing pawpaws, and they will sprout reliably in just a few months. However, to ensure successful germination, wild pawpaw seeds must be potted in soil from the parent tree's growing site to inoculate the seedling with the proper soil microbes.

Questions & Comments

How long will it take to make fruit

“Seedling trees take longer to come into production (5 – 7 years) than grafted trees (3 – 4 years).”
I have read in multiple locations that a seedling pawpaw will bear fruit in 4 – 8 years, which lines up pretty closely with Byers’ 5 – 7 years. 10 years would be quite long.
Grafted trees already think they’re a mature specimen, so if you want to take some of the time off your wait for fruit, plus take the guesswork out of what kind of fruit the tree will bear – buy a grafted tree. I enjoy growing pawpaws from seed, as I share in my popular how-to post here, but if you have a source for improved pawpaw tree varieties, go for it.
