Description

We continue to offer pawpaw seed harvesting at our farm through you pick.

We allow people interested in harvesting for seed to come to our farm to harvest. Maps  will be provided. You are allowed to gather fruit from any tree.   Call 319-729-5905 or email kathy@redfernfarm.com to schedule a harvest date. We do allow primitive camping in our groves to facilitate multiple days of harvest when you make purchases totaling $50/day or more.

We will also have pawpaw seed to sell from our website this year. There are 310 to 350 seeds/pound or around 18 to 22/ounce. All seeds were taken from fruit harvested on our farm September and October. We take fruit from grafted trees and outstanding seedlings. Our genetics for pawpaws are excellent.

The seed were kept moist and cool after being separated from the ripe fruit. This seed was in excellent condition when we mailed it. We have no control over the postal service or your care. We do NOT guarantee these seeds.  Please read the pawpaw seed care page to see how we successfully germinated this seed for our tree nursery.  We are offering FREE SHIPPING  on our pawpaw seeds. Because of quarantines and/or distance we do not ship to the states of  Hawaii, Florida, California, Alaska, Oregon and Washington.

Canopus – New variety, very large fruit size, low seed, excellent flavor, very heavy production, ripens late in the season. Developed at Red Fern Farm.

Asterion – (Sold Out) New variety. Fruit up to 1.6 pounds without thinning. Fruit also has low seed content, excellent flavor, heavy production, and ripens late in the season. Developed at Red Fern Farm.

Polar –  (Not  Available) Seed from a hand pollinated cross between a pawpaw from Northfield, MN and another from southwest Iowa. Expected to be very cold-hardy.

Shensus – Seeds are collected from an area where Shenandoah and Susquehanna are planted alternately, and other cultivars are more than 20 feet away.

Mixed – (Sold Out) These are, we believe, a mix of Shensus, Canopus and or Asterion. Our mistake in not keeping track of the varieties is your gain. Excellent genetics for a lower price.
