How this directory works
HOW WE VERIFYSome pawpaw sellers ship trees by mail; others only open for u-pick in September or show up at one fall festival. PawpawMap tracks the places that sell and grow the fruit: orchards, u-pick farms, farm stores, mail-order nurseries, markets, and festivals. Every listing carries a last-verified date backed by a live source.
If we cannot confirm a place is still active, it stays off the map until we can. Read how listings are verified.
What's new
ALL UPDATES →- Aug 31, 2026A 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.
- Aug 30, 2026Every 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.
- Aug 29, 2026Added 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.
