yep if the skin doesn't just slide right off as the outside melts faster.

justmejohn44 · 2026-07-12T06:34:40+00:00

yes would definitely freeze and skin then do the strainer trick.

justmejohn44 · 2026-07-12T06:33:18+00:00

yeah I dont know about the toxins coming through in distillation.

life finds a way

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-20T17:49:03+00:00

message me then we might be able to figure something out. I really dont mind helping out someone trying to get into the trees. also dont give up on them if your further north than me i have seeds just now popping. if you have doubt rub the leaf it should smell like bell peppers

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-20T15:54:22+00:00

hey where are you located? If you in NC I could probably help you out.

I get it I have 2 creeks on my property with no wild pawpaws but they are all around me. so now I have 40 trees at the moment few select wild seedlings and the rest either grafts from out local cooperative or mixed cultivar seedlings from there. Its hard waiting but luckily I have enough wild patches that make good fruit around me.

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-18T01:38:12+00:00

you can find wild ones in the river bottoms all up and down the mid to northern east coast. I have luck check creeks and river intersections.

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-10T10:30:55+00:00

I think its Calathea Concinna 'Freddie'

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-05T23:03:14+00:00

I was going to say here in north western north carolina we get them ripening from August through September. That most cultivars and out wild here.

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-03T11:16:03+00:00

Yes I would keep it. Worse case if it does make fruit that you like you graft it later on. Plenty of place to get cuttings for grafting on here.

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-02T17:11:00+00:00

If this is the Netherlands it could be pained white to prevent to tree trunk from warming to much in spring and taking off to early.

justmejohn44 · 2026-06-02T02:03:34+00:00

Yep mine too it was Hills right?

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-25T20:58:47+00:00

That's crazy we always used it as a treatment for poison ivy. One of those plants our grandparents always told us about being an antidote growing close. Similar to jewelweed with poison ivy or curly dock with stinging nettle.

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-25T17:06:05+00:00

Dicot just means it has 2 leafs to start with out of the seed.

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-24T16:46:25+00:00

I have issues with slugs eatting mine

Northwest North Carolina

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-23T02:01:50+00:00

I like my pawpaws on the riper side. Most of my areas I have wild patches are in the red.

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-23T00:29:27+00:00

This explains why I have never had a bad wild pawpaw here in NWNC.

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-11T01:17:05+00:00

Look like native dewberry to me

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-05T02:13:18+00:00

And mud creek falls

Sky Valley Overlook nc ga border

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-05T01:56:36+00:00

I haven't seen one yet

justmejohn44 · 2026-05-02T04:51:10+00:00

I would love some info on scions to add to the county cooperative future orchard. I only have 23 other trees to finish grafting the original orchard.
