Definitely not the norm. Grafted varieties you might get close to that mark. I have found wild pawpaws that were barely an inch in diameter at the trunk produce fruit. 5-7 years is common from seed.

I finally got my pawpaw trees ordered. I ordered from Vermont's Elmore Roots nursery. Sunflower & Taytwo are the variety I chose.

They love the fruit of them. No critter really seems to actually damage pawpaw trees.

The wood is very weak and brittle, and a fat Coon can snap off several branches getting the fruit.

I guess I'll plan on keeping them fenced then. I worked hard to find the only nursery I could that sells pawpaw for my zone, so I don't want to mess this up.

As hot as this winter has been I hope they don't try coming alive this month before cold winter weather arrives
