Fruits off pawpaw runners

(1/1)

Nick C:
I noticed some established pawpaw runners are starting to flower on the property this year. Has anybody had the fruit off runners before and is it identical to the mother tree?

GrowerA:
By laws of nature,  runners are the same clone with its mother plant. However,  if mother plant just a root stock and another variety were grafted on,then it will not has the same fruit between  runners with grafted tree. Polination may also  change fruit character. You have to wait to see how runners fruit  develop. Usually second or third year fruits would give you idea fruit quality of the runners when trees get more mature.
