Where to Buy Pawpaws in Florida
3 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in Florida. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
Growing pawpaw in Florida is mostly about picking nursery stock suited to the South, and a few in-state nurseries ship trees across the region. Chestnut Hill Nursery in Alachua and Just Fruits and Exotics in Crawfordville both carry and ship pawpaw, and Florida's long, warm season lets most varieties ripen well, generally from early August into September.
