Where to Buy Pawpaws in Indiana
7 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in Indiana. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
Indiana sits in the heart of the pawpaw's native range, which makes trees and fruit easier to find here than in most states. You can buy pawpaw trees from Brambleberry Farm in Paoli or Needmore Trees in Nashville, and the Indiana Pawpaw Festival in Merom celebrates the harvest each year. The fruit ripens from late August into early October, and Indiana's full season gives most varieties room to ripen well.
