there is the bottom of the 3 gal seedling (the tree being about 3 feet tall) and it wasn’t as dense of a rootball as one might think, but still, compared to the 4x4 (maybe) plant stuck in the middle of the pot…I ain’t buyin’ it. I at least want to send them the evidence to see what they say. Also, it’s letting them know that even noobies like me are paying attention and that if I send them this stuff and don’t get a satisfactory answer, it’s c yaaaa. Plus, I might even write about it on a forum…hmmm…not good.
Your plants look healthy…nice!

There is an opinion that pawpaw does not tolerate a transplant with a bare root! Is this true? If you transplant when the plant is sleeping and do everything right, then it seems to me that this is a fictional myth!

Иногда трансплантаты умирают, а иногда живут. Кажется, очень важно выкопать все корни. Большинство деревьев не так сложно пересадить.
Inogda transplantaty umirayut, a inogda zhivut. Kazhetsya, ochen’ vazhno vykopat’ vse korni. Bol’shinstvo derev’yev ne tak slozhno peresadit’.
Sometimes the transplants die and sometimes they live. It seems to be very important to get all the roots dug up. Most trees are not this difficult to transplant.
Pawpaw roots are quirky. They’re fleshy roots, and most of the root mass in early years seems to be concentrated in the taproot. That is, they don’t produce a lot of side/branching roots. Just the way they are it seems.
I have about 20 paw paws in deep stewie pots. I benchgrafted most of them this spring, but a few were purchased last spring and the tap roots are poking through the bottom (see yellow circle). Are those ones in danger if transplanted?
In my experience pawpaws are pretty tough. Last spring just before they leafed out, I pulled up 10 one-year-old root suckers and moved them across the yard to a spot in the garden. Half of them I bench grafted right away and replanted immediately, the other half I just planted immediately. Also, did two differnt methods of digging them up. Approx half of each group I put a small hand shovel under the sprout and popped it out of the ground usually with a few fine roots attached, and the other ones I literally put two hands on the sprout and yanked it straight out of the ground and as you might guess these had no fine roots at all. Half of the yankers survived but none of the grafted yankers survived. All of the ones I pried up survived, but only two of those grafts took. On the pried up ones in whcih the graft did not take, a new healthy sprout came up from the base later in the summer. Now, none of these grew a whole lot but they survived some serious abuse. And I’ve heard that success rates on pulling root sprouts is very poor. That was not my experience. You do need to keep them watered though. They are not as tough as apples or pears but sill pretty tough. So I would not stress too much about repotting or planting.
