AB  - Pawpaw has been shown to be a promising alternative fruit crop in the US and Europe. Fruits are nutritious for both humans and animals, and research suggests the plant and fruits contain many compounds that may have a role in applications ranging from cancer treatment to insecticides. Seedlings are grown for reforestation, wildlife habitat, mine reclamation as well as windbreak establishment. Future commercial production may be employed to provide source compounds for biomedical and agricultural research and development of high fruit-yielding cultivars. This article discusses the protocol used to propagate pawpaw seedlings for outplanting.
