Edge effect!!🙌 Definitely a great example of how the different landscapes interact and are so full of energy and productivity.
Thank you GPD! It definitely is.
We just found some on our farm, back in the woods. :) They’re very yummy!
Awesome!
Hiya, From Zero to Homestead sent me over. I look forward to seeing more of your work now I've subbed!
Thank you for coming over and checking me out! And thank you for the sub. I really appreciate it.
From Zero to Homestead
sent me!!!! Never went out of my way to eat young bamboo.
Thank you for coming over and checking me out. Young bamboo shoots aren't my 1st choice but like I said in a pinch they could be eaten.
Chinese food, bamboo sprouts, anyone?
Now I want to go back in the woods and look! Thank you for showing/comparing the leaves and bark! The neighborhood is built on an old dried up creek bed, but further down in the woods is more creek and awesome fossils!
Just saw this comment. Did you happen to find any yet? I'm glad you enjoyed the video Nd I'm glad it helped you.
@@HonestOpenPermaculture I did not, sadly. I stayed down at lake gaston alot this summer and searched there, too. I found persimmon, but no paw paw. :(
Great vlog..will be looking for some down by our creek.
Thank you! I hope you find some.
One way to tell paw paws and wild pecans apart is that wild pecans and any other kind of hickory will have a compound leaf, so the thing the leaflets grow out of will not be woody, unlike the paw paw, which has a simple leaf, attached to a branch
THANKS , Did not know about pawpaw trees,,,
You can't find them in stores. I think that is why most people don't know about them.
@@HonestOpenPermaculture THANKS
I'm going to be walking my property this weekend and looking for wild pawpaw. Hoping to start my own little fruit orchard.
Nice, I have 2 little pawpaw pups I've been growing their only around waist high now
Nice! Hopefully I can dig some up to transplant. I have heard it can be hard to dig them up and keep it alive. We'll see.
Great video..was just looking here too (Missouri) no luck so far kept getting faked out by hickory leaves (I think) can't wait to see more!
Thank you. Hickory tree that's the name I couldn't think of. lol. I'll be digging some up this week. So more to come. I'll also show a harvest from the patch.
I live in North West Alabama grew up here and I have never seen any here. And I stayed in the woods and around the creeks and rivers.
I don't konw man they should be in north Alabama.
I spotted some in Florence and moulton
Hickory is what you’re calling wild pecan & I just found out today how similar they look to pawpaw, started finding pawpaw & then began trying to locate all the trees I could in the area & kept finding hickory An looking for the little starting pawpaw fruit an couldn’t see any, then after a minute I’d find another pawpaw and compare and realized I was looking at two different types of trees
I wish I had your knowledge on plants!!! Thanks for the video. Do you have any videos of the trees AFTER you transplant, and they grow a few months? Im not having any luck transplanting them.
I'd love to go visit you guys and get some wild Paw Paw . I planted 4 last year , but only one made it . I am not local though , I live by Gatlingburg / Pigeon Forge , TN. Maybe when we go to N.C.
Let me know. I'll ask my neighbor again. 😉
Hey! I would love to come and get some Pawpaws for the farm! we have a swale area we could plant them next to.
Just subscribed 😉👍
Thank you Wayne!
Where abouts are you? I'm assuming around north Carolina being you mentioned that earlier this video. Fingers crossed I'll find some on my own property and can start growing my own fruit.
I would love to have a pawpaw tree we are in Northeast Oklahoma zone 6A, bright on the edge of their habitat
Do you know a good way to tell the difference between the leaves of the pawpaw vs. the big leaf magnolia? We have a giant tree in the woods here in North Alabama, and I don't know which it is. The leaves seem to be right in between the two in size. The bark, smooth and grey, the tree thirty feet maybe.
Zero sent me! I love paw paws! Sadly they are a little scarce around these parts.
Is only my 2nd year messing with pawpaw. But I'm loving the different aspects of them like how they grow where they grow and they're awesome fruit. Zero is my boy. Thank you for coming over and checking me out!
Love your lifestyle and thanks for making the video. Ima looking for PawPaw’s in the upstate SC Greenville area this weekend. Are you trees still producing fruit 9/2019?
Thank you so much! I am actually editing and should get a video out today of me harvesting and eating pawpaw. Right now is prime picking for my location. Were in zone 6b-7b.
Honest Open Permaculture I’m in Greenville SC off 85 near Pelham Rd. There’s some creeks near me so I’m hoping I can get to go out this weekend to explore. Looking forward to your video.
@@WayneTheWolf awesome I hope you find some.
Do they grow around chattanooga TN?
What part of Philly did you find paw paws???
I don't know. I live in NC
What area of Philly??? Upper Darby??? What area???
Dumb question but could One dig up some babys that they find and plant them closer to home?
Yep. Try to get as much root as you can. Like I do here.
I live in Vermont and I would like to plant some pawpaw trees do you know where I could buy sone
I do in my area but they don't ship them. I think you would have to ask Google. If you can't find the seedlings to buy you should be able to buy some seeds and start your own. I have a collaboration going with quite a few other TH-camrs on how to grow Pawpaws from seed that may help you.

@@HonestOpenPermaculture thank you
Where are you located
NC
Now, be careful of paw paw patch "pups" as you called them because the chances are very good that this "pup" is a root sucker, and these are almost IMPOSSIBLE to transplant because of a lack of tap root that trees growing directly from a single seed have, no matter how carefully you do it. I have always failed myself, and don't try it any more. If you do want to grow pawpaws, which I highly recommend, you can either get seeds from the paw paws you find in the forest and plant these in your property, or buy named cultivars, some of these fruit both huge and delicious , from many available nurseries in states like Kentucky or Virginia or Michigan, Nash Nursery, Peaceful Heritage Nursery, or others, BUT the most important factor, as I am slowly learning myself, is to buy them ALREADY significantly large, which may not be easy, but the ones I have bought small over the past 25 years are very, very slow and take very long to produce fruit or sometimes even to do anything but sort of seem to stand still on spidery trunks. I have a bunch of these sad little slow paw paw varieties that WILL nonetheless, if you are patient enough, eventually pick up steam like freaking hell and produce tons of fruit, more than you can eat, but, stumbling over some amazing luck this winter I bought for around a hundred bucks each this winter in two three or five gallon pots very well rooted, two elite peterson Paw Paws, Shenandoah and Susquehannah, BOTH NOW IN THEIR FLOWERING PERIOD, one that is going to actually produce some large, delicious fruit. I would buy ten or twenty different cultivars if they were as superb as the two I bought in Riverside, california, which is about the LAST place you'd ever expect to find such things, and I cannot get this nursery to promise to try and get more varieties, apparently the buyer of the plants no longer employed there. ah well, I do have a 20 foot seedling pumping out tons of average sized, good but not great tasting paw paws -- the original grafted varieties of "Sunflower", "Rebecca's Gold", and "Wells" ALL died away and got overwhelmed by its wild rootstock, and a few root sucker clones of these rootstocks about six feet tall and just starting to bear and become strong looking. Paw Paws i have eaten, the best ones, are my favorite fruit. I would call them what a perfect fruit SHOULD feel and taste like.
I dug two up last year and transplant them so far one is made it.
Best of luck always with this magical, forever fun to have, fruit.
I’ve been told that if you dig down around a pup and break the sucker root that it’ll start it’s own root and you can come back weeks months or a year later but I’ll take a 50% success rate doing it like you. I’m not a patient man. Your videos are great and this one in particular answered a lot of questions for me. Thank you!
@@Wolfe0803 That's what I heard too, break the sucker root and let it grow new roots for a year.
I live in Virginia really appreciate invite to get a paw paw ttee
Not to far. Let me know. I'll ask my neighbor again. 😉
@@HonestOpenPermaculture ok me and my wife are looking forward to seeing you and the paw paw tree
That's the woods not a rainforest 😂
