Where to Buy Pawpaws in California
2 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in California. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
In California, pawpaw is a long-season novelty, and the usual way to start growing it is mail order from an in-state nursery. Fruitwood Nursery in Orleans and Planting Justice in Oakland, which runs the former Rolling River Nursery, both ship grafted pawpaw trees and named cultivars. The mild climate makes for a late season, with fruit ripening from late September into October, so most varieties still have time to finish.
