If you do a net search on them it will give you every detail you need and it will also be all printable information so you can file it away for future use. You can also go talk to the people at your local greenhouse.

Pawpaw grows in light, well drained soil. It should be partly shaded for the first year or two of it's life. Something should break up the wind near it because it will grow large leaves. It will grow well as an understory tree in warm conditions with a few chilling hours and slighlt acidic soil.

Pawpaw trees must be grown in sheltered locations. Keep your pawpaw tree well fed and watered in the summer as pawpaws have the ability to grow very rapidly.

In the first year of growth don't fertilize your tree unless it is growing vigorously, then fertilize lightly. Ensure the tree is watered well, especially if the weather is dry.
