The turn black.like bananas If you're not finding them on the ground, they almost never are ripe if you shake em off the tree. Last trip I checked on my wild patches, I tried to shake some out but the ones that fell were all rock hard that was almost two weeks ago and they still have barely softened up. When they start to get squeezable they're ripe. I know. They were slightly squeezable and yellow. Heck some.of em.were even rotten on the trees. I wouldn't. Sell unripe pawpaws,lol The IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Pawpaws will be ripe and gone by the end of the week and we've had no frost yet. IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

How do you prepare the seeds for planting? If I remember right , place in a moist paper towel in a zip lock bag in the refrigerator until spring. Plant about an inch deep , water as needed but not drown the seeds. It could take a couple weeks to a couple years for them to sprout. Plant a lot of them , and you should get some early. We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

Luckily the ground isn't frozen yet. They are coming with some sort of shelter that I paid extra for. This is from Elmore Roots out of Vermont.
