I went through my typical pawpaw indoor germination process late last year/earlier this year and assumed this year’s seeds were duds. I recently organized my basement and saw these when I moved this container—I am surprised and glad to be mistaken!
With that said, would these seedlings get robust enough roots to overwinter in pots? I can control any frost threats by moving them in/out, but didn’t know about the rest of each seedling and them developing before environmental cues are received to go dormant. For context, the in-ground Asimina triloba and A. parviflora in my backyard typically senesce in early November.
