Henry Field has them in pots. Be sure to get ones in pots because they HATE to have their roots disturbed. Eatable Landscapeing probably has them too. I'll check some other wild plant sources and see what I can find.

Hi Larry,
Check Ebay, there's a guy in TN that is selling them quite reasonable and they are good sized plants. I have tried several times to get 2 of them, but unfortunately, I don't check the auction often enough and I usually get outbidded.

Where ever you decide to purchase them from, make sure to purchase at least 2 PawPaw trees! One alone will NOT produce fruit. Hopefully, with two trees (1 male and 1 female) you will be able to grow some of the delicious fruit!

BTW, I think I purchased mine from Park Seed Company. They were running a special about 1 month ago.
