Here is the St of MO; These are probably best for planting windbreaks and wildlife thickets; you can order , elderberries, persimmons, plums, and paw paws, $.40 to $.80 per seedlings usually in bundles of 10 or 25. (these are the trees with fruit; there are others.)

I think that there are better varieties of paw paws and persimmons for your orchard.

I live just over the Kansas border in a suburbe of KC. I am a frustrated gardener/orchardist!
