RE: This Year, A Mulch Desert Around the Paw Paw Trees
Looks far enough (the mulch) away from your house termites shouldn't be an issue. The update I am most curious to read of is whether the offer of one paw paw will induce any of your neighbors into helping you with the labor.
Good luck with your project.
I'm hoping that we all get more than one paw paw, that was just the worst case scenario, since I haven't managed to grow one yet. They were planted before I got here, and I've pulled the weeds back nearly every year now for 9 years, but I don't consider the trees or their fruit to be mine. The neighbors win even if they never help, but my plan is that next year some might remember, and possibly lend a hand. Even after I wrote this, someone on a tractor came and pushed away the piles of brush that I'd cleared, so it has begun!
