brian had the good idea awhile ago that we could try our hand at growing pawpaws here. it seems it could work. with lots of hope, we're going to order 4 pawpaw trees. we're going to get the following varieties: sunflower, wells, ksu atwood, and the susquehanna.
we'll make a post once we have them (of course), but in the meantime keep us in mind when you cross your fingers. we'll need all the finger-crossing we can get.
...also, we have an idea that maybe we'll try growing a pomegranate tree too! it seems that we could just move it inside when it starts getting too cold outside. but how cool would it be to have our own pomegranates! and then a 5-6' pomegranate tree inside during the winter. life would be almost too sweet if we could have our own supply of pawpaws and pomegranates.

You don't need to use the claw when you pick a pair of the big pawpaw.
Fingers Crossed!
I will be very interested to hear how they fare. I've been dreaming of my own little lemon tree, just like Thomas Jefferson had. I wonder if he ever tried pawpaws. I bet he liked them if he did.
a girl can dream! we will be keeping all our fingers crossed in anticipation. i actually have a friend who lives in the SLC area (i think) who is growing paw-paws. you can do it!
