Susquehanna® Paw Paw

Two trees in a box slamming around during shipping equals broken branches and sad trees. They could have taped the pots to the box to solve that issue. They wouldn't fix the problem.

My tree arrived in great shape, about 2 feet tall with a few buds. It broke dormancy and is really taking off! Its been in the ground for just 7 weeks and already has a handful of large leaves and 6" of new growth.

Couldn’t be happier! Beautiful tree which is thriving! Excellent shipping and packaging. Highly recommended.

The tree arrived in perfect condition and well packed. Be careful of sun. I’m at 4K feet elevation and the leaves were sun burning. A shade cloth solves the problem.

As pawpaw trees sell out quickly these days, especially desired varieties I was pleasantly surprised to find Raintree had this one left as I was ordering late in the season. It came within a short time to NC and looks fantastic. I potted it up into a slightly larger container for now and it is really looking good. I plan on putting it in the ground next spring. Great quality tree! Thanks

Def Great place to buy high quality trees.

Wish they offered more mature trees maybe then they'd survive the shipping process.

Got 3 didn't Paw Paws and only this varity didn't leaf out this spring. Was in same shipping container, so it wasn't the soil. Sad I couldn't get a replacement as now I have to pay the pricy shipping cost again if I want another tree when it's in stock.

I’m so extremely disappointed and feel deceived.
I had concerns from the beginning when it arrived, so I messaged the nursery out of concern for a tree that was way too small and no foliage, weak and worried it would not make it.
They assured me that it was a grafted paw paw when you can see that it was propagated from cuttings, NOT grafted, it was not grafted on anything, and had barely any roots is maybe three so small that it is of no wonder that it never flourished. A very misleading claim on their site.
My message to them, “ I knew it would have no leaves, but this one is very small, thin, and looks weak for the size of the rootstock. I’m afraid it may not make it.
I based my purchase on your YT videos, and the tree I received looks completely different than what Mrs. Laura advertises on YouTube.”
I was thinking of giving it a bigger pot with amended soil just for this paw paw. It is not my first since I have a 5’ pawpaw on my orchard. I got that one from my local nursery. But this one from Raintree is nothing but a stick stuck into the soil.
Additionally, the green tape they attach to keep the “tree” or rather the body of it unto the bamboo, was way too tight and cut the tree’s circulation. Make your research before buying here. I feel it a blessing that I did not buy more because the waste of money would have been greater.

I feel horrible. I have traveled from coast to coast to get my trees, and a lot of other vendors shipped me trees and once I came across this store’s YT I felt hope that I might have found the companion for my other Peterson Paw Paw. Alas, that was never, ever going to be the case.
It is of no surprise now to me why they say “not to `disturb’ the roots.” what roots? There were none.
