Where to Buy Pawpaws in Maine
1 verified place to buy or pick pawpaws in Maine. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
Maine is the cold northern frontier of the pawpaw's range, so growing it here takes hardy stock and an early-ripening variety. Edgewood Nursery in Falmouth ships pawpaw trees suited to the region. The season is short and the fruit ripens late, so the best odds of beating the first frost come from early varieties like Kentucky Champion, Summer Delight, Allegheny, and Pennsylvania Golden.
