    • New content

      The pawpaw trees for sale page leads with the trees in stock: one card per variety, each naming the nurseries that have it with a link to their store, filters for early ripening, large fruit and seedlings, a search across all 45 named varieties, and a ZIP lookup for the nearest nurseries to visit.

    • New listings

      Top-nursery badges added to the map's directory list: Beautiful Beginnings Nursery (KY), Peaceful Heritage Nursery (KY) and Perry Permaculture (MI) now lead the list, ranked by how often the availability tracker cites each nursery's own pages. The festival page shows a season-over notice when no dated festivals remain.

    • Correction

      Corrected two listings at their owners' request: Perry Permaculture's address is now 9945 Ruess Road in Perry, Michigan, and Boone's Paw Paw Orchard in Ann Arbor no longer offers u-pick, so it is now listed as an orchard.

    • Correction

      Facebook and Instagram links corrected for six listings: Brambleberry Farm and Perfect Circle Farm now link their current Facebook pages, Woolly Yak Ranch and Winery links its renamed Instagram account, Earthy Delights gains its Facebook page, and Olivia's Orchard and Oikos Tree Crops drop social links that no longer exist.

    • New content

      A new pawpaw fruit page covers taste, history, and why stores never carry the fruit, with links to verified sellers. The pawpaw tree and pawpaw seed guides were rebuilt, the buy pages now list order-online nurseries separately from contact-first nurseries, the 36 state pages each gained a pawpaw tree nurseries section, and the zone checker names the zones where pawpaws fruit reliably.

    • New content

      Every verified orchard, market, u-pick, and online seller now carries a written introduction on its page, drawn from each grower’s own site: 42 listings that previously showed only the map and season line. Nursery pages got theirs earlier in the summer.

    • New listings

      Added Brookhaven Mill Farm in Greensboro, North Carolina: a wild pawpaw patch of hundreds of plants on the back acres of an 1880s farm, open for booked picking visits each September. The owner wrote in through the site form.

    • New listings

      Added The Days and Time of Paw Paw, a ticketed pawpaw tasting at Doghobble Wine Farm in Dahlonega, Georgia: grower panel, pawpaw ice cream, and a pawpaw tree sale for ticket holders. First festival listing in Georgia from a reader tip.

    • Removed

      Removed the Hoosier PawPaw listing. They sell frozen pulp and seed through a Facebook page and have no storefront to send a reader to. Their Indiana page now points to the Indiana state page.

    • Correction

      Four nurseries no longer appear on the list of nurseries that ship pawpaw trees: England's Orchard and Nursery, West Farm Nursery and Forrest Keeling Nursery sell trees for local pickup, and Clear Ridge Nursery now supplies the trade only.
