Asimina seeds (forum)

There are a couple of people in the US selling American paw paw seeds on eBay at the moment for a good price. Some ship seed to Australia, worth the effort. AQIS allows the seed to be imported.

I bought 15 seeds from the US when you made me aware of them around March or so this year, Phil. After 100 days of cold stratification they are starting to germinate. Well, they started germinating about a month ago. Very slow. Approx 5 have poked their seed pods above ground so far.
Slightly off topic, I see Phil, that you are interested in Akebia Quinata? I bought 3 from Bob at para plants. They flowered in the same year purchased. He has some in stock if you wanted some. I also found four vines lost up the back in a run down nursery last year. Plenty of flowers, no fruit set as yet.

Yes they seem to surface around October if they are sown in the autumn. I have a few healthy three year old trees this year, hopefully they will take off now they are in the ground. The ones I planted in semi shade seem to do better than full sun which scorches the leaves. And they can also be planted out when growing strongly, rather than just at budburst as Glowinski advises. Will wait for a taste report on the Akebia!

I recently purchased some seeds from cnstamps on e-bay he stratifies them before sending and they were sprouting when they arrived. Just remind him to include the species name on the envelope, if you use him, as he forgot and i had to fish them out of quarantine. They are also wild seeds so whou knows what they will taste like. I plan to graft some over later and would be very interested if anyone has good varieties and they are willing to share wood in about a year.

Do any of you guys have the right climate to grow these things because it seems a very fussy plant and EXTREME slow growing if you don't have it exactly how it likes

I saw a fruiting tree in Daylesford (Vic) which was about seven years old at an open garden a while back. Also when I went through the Glowinski garden in Melbourne the tree had young fruit on it.

Hi Phil@Tyalgum, I would appreciate any advice you can point to from AQIS that asimina triloba seeds are allowed into the country.
This would save going through a fairly onerous application process. Cheers, Friend10

It is on the AQIS website that you can bring them in. I got 40 seeds a month ago from America which got through customs alright. Here is the page:

Yes if you simply ask the sender to put "Asimina triloba" on the outside of the package where it is easily seen for inspection they should get through ok. My sender put "Non commercial quantity, cleaned and dry packed" as well, they came through no worries at all.

MC, no comments about using various raw vegetsation as cure for cancers. The Paw Paw you have read is perhaps a Papaw? In Australia, the Paw Paw we used to call has 2 new commerical names: read sweetr variety is call Red Papaya and the yellow flesh is called Papaw.

I have read on the internet many claims of various trees for curing various forms of cancers and I have many of those trees growing but they are for eating the fruits of or for hobby gardening. I do have people coming to pick leaves from this or that at times.
