Kentucky State University, the Ohio Pawpaw Growers Association and the PawPaw Foundation will hold a Pawpaw Workshop on September 6, 2008 at the Kentucky State University Research and Demonstration Farm in Frankfort, Kentucky. The workshop objective is to discuss progress in pawpaw regional (Asimina triloba) variety trials, cultivar development, pest management, management of mature orchards, storing and handling fruit, and marketing pawpaw. This workshop will be a unique experience for scientists, nurserymen, entrepreneurs, and enthusiasts to share information about the production and uses of pawpaw. In addition to presentations on pawpaw, the workshop will also offer an opportunity to taste pawpaw fruit and tour the Kentucky State University pawpaw orchards. The workshop will have a number of invited speakers; however, there will also be a poster session and show-and-tell session about pawpaw for participants. On site registration for workshop will be required.
