The #1 misconception that people have about pawpaws is that they like shade or that they need shade! If we look at how pawpaws function in their native habitat, we can see that pawpaws are really just masters of the long game. They will wait in the shadows until a opportunity for sunlight arises and then grasp it! Since they are not long lived trees, this position in the canopy is (relatively) short-lived before they are overtaken by other species. Thus they occupy the niche of a successional species after minor disturbances. #projectpawpaw #crowdfunded #pawpaw #research #treetubes #planting #science #plantbreeding #native #fruit #local #food #sustainable #agriculture #plant #trees #nature #environment #small #farmers #theseedscholar
