6/ This project is self-funded but I will set up a kofi if I run out of puffy envelopes to help pay for more puffy envelopes and help with cost of shipping. (Currently have 21 left.) I will ship the seeds first week of November after the persimmon crop is ready.

Leftover seeds will be planted locally.

This project is to help with climate crisis food security, planting resilient native edible plants. Hopefully next Fall I’ll have more variety to share.

@jblue Well done. I'd like to try some of these seeds in Europe, specifically Ireland where I've planted orchards, vines & fruit crops. Is that feasible?

@j_g_fitzgerald this project aims for rewilding plants where they are native. Also, I don’t have a license to send seeds to the EU yet, maybe next spring. Pawpaws have been cultivated in Germany since the late 19th C so there a number of cultivars you can get grafted seedlings or seeds. Mine are wild plants. Cultivars are nearly seedless. You should be able to find a seedling tree for less than 15€ and lots of seeds for much less. Don’t buy a bareroot tree though. It won’t survive.❤️
