Correy says... I dry them out a bit before I put them in the soil. Usually in a couple of weeks you get some action. The trick from a seed though is you need to wait until the flowers develop (a couple of months later) because you need one female and one male so that you can get fruit. This may take a lot of trial and error before you get the right combination and a trained eye. This might help you on determining which paw paw flower is male or female If you want the easy way out your could try the Pawpaw - Southern Red Bisexual

Anonymous says... pawpaw seeds can take 3 months to germinate.i know because i use to grow acres of them.in very warm climates with temps around 32 deg c and above, they take about 6 weeks.the secret is NOT to place too much soil on top of seeds.just enough to cover is fine.keep moist at all times but not wet.failing this = no germinating.. | About the Author north qld 28th August 2008 7:08am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Anonymous says... oh,i forgot to say this in last reply.pawpaw seeds germinate better if seeds are dry.the clear membrane that surrounds seeds in a pawpaw has (natural) anti germination chemicals.to rid this membrane i ferment seeds in beer yeast for at least 3 weeks.after this the membrane should of let go.dry seeds in sun for 1 week then plant.they say drying seeds in the sun kills them.beleive me this is NOT TRUE..i get 99% strike rate when i follow this procedure...this was a tip that a pawpaw seed seller told me years ago.he use to supply seeds for commercial use... andy.. | About the Author north qld 28th August 2008 7:22am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
