i would be interested in seeds ... if you could help cheers

Hi Again Phil, how did these work for you? Any luck, how do they taste? Another tempting fruit!

I have some healthy looking seedlings but they are very slow, planted out some into the ground and just waiting for some decent growth to occur. Some years off fruiting it would seem. Seeds come up on eBay most times of the year, generally from the US - they are approved for import.

Pawpaw (Seedling) ^6/10

Pawpaw Southern Red Bisexual - from Daleys. Tastes yummy, but less yummy during cold weather. I've recently figured out that the best thing to do with those green fruit that are showing a bit of skin damage from the winter is to use them up about August thru October as a vege (my favorite is Thai green pawpaw salad), because if I let them get ripe they won't taste good. Any green fruit that still look ok by October can be left to ripen on the tree. Tree looks nice from about November to June (then it looks very shabby due to the winter weather). Planted next to a north facing brick wall (NNE actually), with moderate wind exposure. Water in warmer weather. I'll give it 6/10 for Sydney climate, although I'd give almost any pawpaw 9/10 in the tropics.

I've grown a few pawpaws (mostly Southern Red bisexual or their prodigy) here in Sydney, and they usually die after 2 to 4 years. I suppose the cool winters and damp clay soils aren't kind to them. I planted some pawpaws in Perth's sandy soil once that lasted longer, and I got more fruit to the fully ripe stage (the aspect of that spot in Perth was as good as it gets though, so that may explain its better performance)

A fruit we eat a lot of and an important medicinal. I would probably need to plant seedlings both male and female and still might be unreliable so I might propagate some more Babaco as substitute.
