Yellow leaves
Started these two this summer. Noticed yellowing leaves the last few days. Is this normal fall color change or am I losing my starts? (USDA Zone6b)

NC-1, Mark Caltabiano, Long Island NY. 10/10/26
NC-1, should be named BananaPawRex, as it is famous for powerful musky Banana flavors & vibrant tropical complexity in the long flavor profile finish. Epsom Salt in the soil & foliar sprays of Iron EDDHA on the youngest leaves every 2 weeks, pushes the intensity of this cultivar over the top.

Planting pawpaw
Hi all,
I just received 5 cultivars: Susquehanna, Shenandoah, Tallahatchie, Wabash, and NC-1. All around 2ish feet tall.I want to plant them in my yard where they will get full sun. While I know I should protect them with shade cloth for now, Im curious if its ok to plant them in my heavy N GA clay yard (its just a grassy area now). Or, do I need to till the area and heavily amend / plant in a mound style with the loamy amended soil.
Thanks!

I love pawpaws…
But so much work. I think I ended up with more seeds than fruit.
Granted, fruits on the tree this year are smaller than last year, and seem seed-dense. Even a small pawpaw will have 10-15 seeds

Do pawpaw trees take branch grafting well?
I have an Allegheny grafted tree about 7 years old and 15 feet tall. I am not a fan of it; the fruit are all small and just bland banana flavor.
I have a wild type pawpaw planted nearby it that has large, really delicious fruit. Lovely melon & pineapple notes with a bit of funk on the finish.
The trees have the same growing conditions but the Allegheny is so thoroughly Meh, I'm thinking about trying to graft branches or buds onto the tree to add some varieties to it.
Has anyone taken this approach? What did you find worked and what didn't?

Bottling Pawpaw lemonade!
I'm super proud of my pawpaw lemonade this year. I even convinced WV's oldest running business to carry it in their general store!
I've still got a few lbs of frozen pulp and am thinking about making a pawpaw chili lemonade next... I'm thinking the right chili taste might go well with the tropical pawpaw flavor.
I wish i could know what kind of variety of pawpaw my local patch is. I've been visiting it for years, but their fruit seems different from others I've had in the past.

pawpaw kombucha
ok so still new to making booch but made some pawpaw pie flavor booch and wooooo it’s the best one I’ve made yet. Great early fall flavor. I have a lot of sediment cause I just use blended fruit and avoid the pulp when I drink it.
Used 1/4c foraged pawpaws a clove and some cinnamon. very cidery flavor.

Our very first Shenandoah!
I'm curious if others in the South Coast area of Massachusetts are starting to see ripening?
This was getting pretty soft on the tree so I pulled it off since we have all sorts of critters that have already been eating all of our other fruits this year. I'll probably let it sit on the counter for a day or two before I crack it open.
This is the first year this tree has produced fruit. Probably only a total of 10 or so but a good start.
