Re: [Native Gardening] Transplanting small paw paw tree

 

Hit and miss...Paw Paw much like Sumac will send out rhizomes that can produce a node which will send up a new stem but unless you get a stem that produced its own roots than you will lose it every time. Sometimes its a better idea just to buy a new plant and because Paw paw can only be sold in a container ( not B&B ) it is relatively cheap Frank We abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect.

He dug it from his yard and brought it over and helped me plant it. Unfortunately, it did not survive. I told the friend and he said he will try again, dig down and try to sever the root that connects it to the mother tree (it is a colonizing species) wait until next spring and then dig it up for me. Does anyone have experience transplanting paw paw? Is this the right way to do it?
