Where to Buy Pawpaws in Washington

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

Pawpaw is still a curiosity in Washington, a Pacific Northwest grow-it-yourself project that starts with a specialty nursery. Burnt Ridge Nursery in Onalaska and Raintree Nursery in Morton both ship pawpaw trees and named cultivars to growers. Cool nights make for a late season, with fruit ripening from late September into October, so early-ripening varieties give a crop the time it needs: Allegheny, Pennsylvania Golden, and Summer Delight are the ones to plant.
