Potted Pawpaw Shoots and Suckers

I dug up the pawpaw shoots today. I am experimenting with these suckers. It is probably not the most ideal time to dig up the tender shoots, as it has been extremely hot and sunny this summer. However, I have placed the little plants in full shade, and I will keep them well watered. My hope is to get them to root before fall so that they will grow normally next April. I will sell them to make a little money.

Gurney's pawpaw shoot surprise

I trimmed around my pawpaws and found a surprise.   A 6-inch shoot has developed off the Gurney's asimina that didn't flower.   I'm sort of shocked because that is the slower growing plant, yet it developed a shoot first.

Edible Landscaping pawpaw

The little asimina triloba is growing nicely. The leaves that escape the shelter have sunburn.
