Thanks Muskyman. Very informative. I have 2 different patches of pawpaws about 50 yards apart but I don't remember if they are from the same plant or 2 different ones.
John, I've grown persimmon from seed. The best germination was from seed I collected from coyote scat. I've also planted fresh seeds in a pot after collecting fruit and place the pot on the north side of the house, outside and most germinated the next spring.
