These are one-year seedlings in a seed tray. They are stressed and their leaves discolored, unlike those that were transplanted several months ago. I know that pawpAws have sensitive root structures that don't like being transplanted, so my question is what would be most stressful for these little trees: leaving them in the trays, or transplanting them now?
Sure, trees should be transplanted in early winter when dormant, but I am worried these won't make it until then... And since 80% of root development takes place in fall, wouldn't it be better to transplant these before winter?
