Where to Buy Pawpaws in Connecticut

3 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in Connecticut. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.

Connecticut pawpaw starts with the state's specialty nurseries, since stock raised for a Northeast climate settles in best here. Cricket Hill Garden in Thomaston sells zone-6-grown seedlings from named parents, and Logee's in Danielson has shipped mail-order plants since 1892. The season is short and pawpaws ripen from mid-September into October, so early-ripening varieties carry it off best: Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, and Summer Delight are the names to look for.
