Stratified 2021 Pawpaw (Paw Paw, Asimina triloba) seed, sorted named cultivars

Description

We have several pawpaw trees. These are seeds saved from 2021. They ARE stratified. However, another month or two of stratification will probably improve germination results.
Our list of mature trees include: Shenandoah, Susquehanna, Allegheny, NC-1, PA Golden, Wells, Wabash, Mango, Maria's Joy, Sunflower, Potomac, Taytoo, Rappahannock, Overleese, Rebecca's Gold. We have absolutely NO wild pawpaws near us (closest is more than 2 hour drive), as we have an isolated orchard, and on the very edge of it's native range. Any unsorted seed must contain genetics from one of these cultivars.
FAQ
Why do you charge more than others?
We charge a bit more because the seeds are sorted. You know the exact source of at least one parent and the genetic pool from which they come. Most people are collecting and selling wild pawpaw seed. These are no good if you want a grow a pawpaw for eating. Think of it like the difference between growing a seed from a wild apple vs one from the grocery store. The wild apple is more likely to be mixed genetics with crab apple, high in tannins, etc... If you are looking for a juicing apple, you'd pick and grow out a Gala or Fuji, not something from the wild. In the same way, we are giving you a choice of a variety of parents.
Will the seed grow exactly like the parent?
The seeds are sorted based on the female parent. As pawpaws are NOT self-fertile, the pollen donator could be any of the other cultivars previously mentioned.
This also means that the seedling will not grow identical to the parent. A Shenandoah seedling will not be exactly the same as a Shenandoah, but it will be more likely to share many of its traits. Pawpaw breeding is still in it's infancy, so many people like the novelty of growing something unique that they can give a name to down the road.
Bear in mind that since we're dealing with genetics, this is still a bit of a lottery. For example, even if both pawpaw parents are mild flavored, there's no guarantee that the progeny will be so. It's just more likely. It's like stacking the deck. With wild pawpaws, there's a very small percentage that are considered palatable (~20% or less) and fewer still that are considered "good" enough to compare with named varieties. With named cultivars, almost all progeny are considered good enough to eat, but the exact traits will vary since each seed will be genetically unique. Think of it this way, two tall people are more likely to have kids that are tall, but it's no guarantee, such is genetics. We just want to be upfront and clear on what to expect.
Feel free to ask questions. If you're looking for germination instructions. TreePeony has pretty good instructions, but a lot of people have different methods.
