I grew two pawpaw saplings from seed last summer in my NYC apartment, reaching about 12” tall, with 8 leaves. Over the winter, the top leaves browned but did not drop, and now into June of year two, they have yet to show any signs of new growth.
They stayed inside all winter in a pot about 24”x24” (we have no outdoor space, so never got below 50-ish degrees.
Wondering if they are stuck in permanent dormancy or if there is still hope for 2025? Hope to one day have an outdoor space for them, but perhaps indoor pawpaws was a fallacy from the outset!
