Subject: Re: [nafex] Pawpaw question and observation

Jerry,
My experience has been similar to mIEKAL's - container-grown pawpaws that I
grafted and transplanted a year or so later, often grew for a year or two,
then the graft 'woke up dead' after winter, and the understock re-grew.
Now... in-groung established seedlings that were topworked to named
selections... no decline or death of the grafted variety.

But, again, it may be that if I did more than chunk 'em in the ground and
walk away, they might have fared better.

Lucky
