Ok well i got these paw paws from dales in late to early october 08. I planted them in the ground in late novermber. They are 6-7 feet tall now and goin strong apart from all the rain we had. I built up some soil next to my green house on the north facing slope. I added lime to the soil and cow manure. I watered them 3-4 times a week when I first planted them, they started to fruit in the first 4 months of planting. I also kept mulch up to them. Then only problem I am having is after all the rain we had it has washed all the lime out of the soil and the leaves are goin yellow but its not a problem cause i have added more dolla mite and cow manure mulch so they should do well again soon coming into the warmer season. Well thats about it.
