@ProfDuff @JennWongSilver UPDATE: no pawpaws right now, but check back in the spring!

[Bartram's Garden 🌱 @BartramsGarden]

A great native tree in our Nursery Sale is Prunus maritima. Beach plum has edible fruits and is related to plums, cherries & peaches. They like sandy soil & tolerate salt spray.

Shop at the Welcome Center, open daily 9AM-4PM, or order online for pick-up. https://t.co/cWLkmuQ1Q4

@ProfDuff @JennWongSilver I don't see pawpaw on the sales site right now, so I'm checking with our nursery staff. If you don't hear from us in time, I'd recommend calling the Welcome Center [phone] before you come and they should be able to check inventory for you.
