Where to Buy Pawpaws in Texas

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

Pawpaw reaches the southwestern edge of its range in East Texas, so growing it here means choosing trees that can take the heat. Bob Wells Nursery in Mineola ships pawpaw trees, and Buchanan's Native Plants in Houston carries the native fruit. The long, warm season gives most varieties ample time to ripen, generally from late summer into early fall.
