Propagating & Enjoying Pawpaws, North America's Largest Native Tree Fruit - Paul DeCampo
Our next meeting is on Monday, September 16, at 7:30 p.m, at the Stan Wadlow Clubhouse, 373 Cedarvale. Our speaker will be Paul DeCampo, speaking about Planting, Propagating & Enjoying Pawpaws,North America's Largest Native Tree Fruit.
In parallel with a professional career as an educator, food researcher
and wine marketer, Paul has practiced ecological gardening on an urban Toronto site since 1992. He has been inspired by elements of regenerative agriculture, indigenous permaculture and habitat restoration. Pawpaw trees (Asimina triloba) are the main element of a front yard “forest edge” restoration, along with white cedar, snowberries and chokecherries.
Paul has also contributed pawpaw trees to public plantings at U of T, High Park, St. Matthew’s
Indigenous Nojimo’iwein Gitigaan/Healing Garden, and various private gardens in Southern
Ontario.
He is pleased with this opportunity to share knowledge about the history and propagation of North
America’s largest native tree fruit, and hopes to inspire other gardeners to spread this beautiful tree
across our shared landscape.
This meeting will also include our final flower show of the year. Click here to see the September flower show schedule.
