Where to Buy Pawpaws in Wisconsin

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

Pawpaw grows near the northern limit of its range in Wisconsin, so it takes hardy stock and a little patience. Johnson's Nursery in Menomonee Falls and Jung Seed Company in Randolph supply pawpaw trees to Wisconsin gardeners. The season is short and fruit ripens from mid-September into October, so early-ripening varieties like Allegheny, Kentucky Champion, and Pennsylvania Golden are the most reliable for finishing a crop.
