Pawpaw
How do I plant an pawpaw tree?
To plant a pawpaw in the ground, it is best to do so in autumn or spring when the soil is neither frozen nor too wet. Choose a sunny location protected from the wind. Make sure the soil is well-drained and rich in organic matter. If your soil is clayey, add some sand to improve drainage.
Dig a hole twice as wide and deep as the root ball. Mix in some compost to feed the plant. Place the tree in the center of the hole, making sure not to bury the crown, and refill with the soil-compost mixture, lightly tamping it down. Water thoroughly immediately after planting.
If you need to transplant a pawpaw, do so carefully to avoid damaging the roots. It is best to carry out this operation in autumn, so the plant can establish itself before winter.
Following these guidelines and monitoring watering regularly will help your pawpaw grow and bear fruit successfully.
