Neal Peterson Pawpaws
« on: January 22, 2015, 08:12:31 AM »
I wouldn't normally post something like this but I have been chasing the best pawpaw since the mid 80s and I think Neal Peterson has done the best work with them so far.

Neal Peterson has just started a kickstarter fundraising campaign so he can get the Asimina cultivars he developed licensed in Japan and Europe.  Neal has devoted his life to discovering and developing outstanding Asimina accessions.   The ultimate goal is get Asimina grown more widely and generate interest and demand that can fuel more research and preservation  so I am including below the link to the kickstarter page.  Please distribute as you see fit. There is only a month for the funding drive, but the page is quite a good read about Asimina.  Whether or not anyone wishes to offer support, I think most fruit enthusiasts would enjoy learning the information presented.

Thanks for the link. I visited his nursery's website but didn't know the varieties were selected by him.

How disallowing the free grafting of a cultivar can increase its diffusion?
