All About Pawpaw Trees

Meet America’s best-kept fruit secret: the pawpaw.Craig Mauney 500Webp
All class attendees will receive 10% off any Pawpaw Tree purchased same-day.

This native Appalachian treasure—with its lush tropical look and custard-smooth fruit—has a rich history stretching back to Indigenous communities and early settlers. And the flavor? Think banana, mango, and melon all rolled into one. If you’ve never tasted one, here’s your chance: we’ll have fresh pawpaw fruit to sample during class!

Join expert horticulturist Craig Mauney (affectionately known as the Pawpaw King) as we explore everything you need to know to grow your own pawpaw trees: where to plant them, how to care for them, how they’re pollinated (hint: it’s not bees!), and how to enjoy their one-of-a-kind fruit in smoothies, baked goods, and more.

Craig is generously donating his entire speaker fee to the Franklin Farm Hub, supporting local food access and agricultural education.
