Paw Paw Fruit and Seeds
Those seeds are from one Paw Paw Fruit. When you're peeling a Paw Paw leave the outer skin on the seed, that skin adds bitterness. They're very sturdy seeds. Paw Paw trees are easy to plant from seed. I've read that they are hard to transplant as seedlings? Never tried that, but once I planted a lot of seeds hoping to maybe get one tree come up; but I think every seed came up.

did you refridgerate (or stratify) your seeds prior to planting? or did you go straight to the ground with them? Also, where are you growing these, midwest...?

I went straight to the ground with them. Mother nature took care of the refridgeration over the winter. The following spring they came right up. Yes I'm in the midwest, just north of the Missouri River. Paw Paws are common in the wooded areas around here. I'm fortunate enough to live next to a wooded area and have quite a large patch of them.

Looking at the pics of fruit and seed, especially the seeds, this is an honest to goodness pawpaw. I have seeds i took out of pawpaws several years ago, kept them, and have wanted to make a bracelet out of them, they are so beautiful, now I think I'll plant them. These pawpaws came from about 5-10 miles away from my home.
