Where to Buy Pawpaws in New Jersey
4 verified places to buy or pick pawpaws in New Jersey. Confirm availability before you visit. Pawpaw season is short.
New Jersey has enough nurseries and orchards to get you started growing pawpaw. West Farm Nursery in Branchburg and Pinelands Nursery and Supply in Columbus both ship pawpaw trees, and Robson's Farm in Wrightstown grows the fruit. The season in the northern part of the state is short, with pawpaws ripening from mid-September into October, so plant an early variety. Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, and Summer Delight will finish more dependably than a late one.
