Neil Peterson's tireless dedication to researching and evaluating this largely forgotten fruit culminated in the release of seven superior cultivars, which he named after American rivers with Indigenous names. Allegheny® is pawpaw enthusiast Michael Judd's personal favorite due to it's 'strong growth, abundant fruiting and balanced flavours.' Mid-sized fruit has a slight citrus accent to it's rich, sweet, smooth-textured yellow flesh. Fruit thinning early in the season is recommended for this precocious, productive cultivar. Overall tree health will benefit, as well as bigger fruit size.

It is common knowledge that blueberries require acidic (low pH) soil. In many areas of Canada the soil is naturally not acidic enough (pH too high). Here we recommend our popular Blueberry Booster (see page 59). A number of other trees also prefer more acidic soil and will benefit from annual applications of Blueberry Booster. These include Chestnuts, Pawpaws and Persimmons.

In most cases, we recommend planting bareroot fruit trees at their permanent site as soon as you get them. However, the trees in this section of the catalogue (Pawpaws, Persimmons and Jujubes) will often benefit from spending a few more years in a pot. Since these species do not take as well to bareroot handling, we receive them as very small trees in pots. We suggest you repot them in a 2 or 3 gallon container and grow them for several seasons. Pawpaws in particular, will appreciate this, as the tender young trees will prosper much more if you can keep them out of direct sunlight. This way you also have the option of overwintering them in your garage until they are bigger and stronger.

I bought PA golden and ALLEGHENY this spring. The PA golden is as big as advertised. However this ALLEGHENY was barely three feet tall and very thin. I repotted it into a five gallon pot with good potting soil. It sprouted OK, however, the new leaves are pale yellow and white green, not a healthy dark green. The PA golden is a dark green.
It took almost three months, the new growth is finally turning into a healthy dark green. But in general, this tree condition is much worse than PA golden and not as advertised.
