Attempt to germinate pawpaw seeds

The pawpaw seeds have been in cold storage for 84 days now. I have placed them in a clear plastic container with moistened paper towel to germinate them. I checked on the seeds in the greenhouse.  Only the one seed from Seedrack has germinated.

Pawpaw germination

On November 10, 2012, I placed three pawpaw seeds in three separate containers to begin the germination process. The pawpaw seeds had been in my refrigerator since around September 8. I buried the seeds about one inch deep in a twelve inch container, then placed them in the green house. Today, I unearthed all 3 seeds, and one of the seeds that I obtained from seed rack had already sprouted and was sending down a tap root. Yeah!!!

Pawpaw Disappointment

I was disappointed today. I drove an hour to the N.C. Pawpaw Festival only to discover that they were out of everything, food samples and pawpaws. I arrived at 10:40 a.m., only 40 minutes after the festival began. Festival hours were 10-1. So, I still have yet to taste a pawpaw. I have been watching the one fruit hanging on my parent's tree closely. I hope it makes it. It's only about 3" tall and 1" in diameter--very small. My family and I will have to split it. I hope to get the nine asimina triloba trees in my yard to produce soon. The picture is of the one little pawpaw.
