I've seen many in the wild that are quite established down in PA, and I would estimate most of the mature trees are about 15-20 feet tall. It seems that the ones deeper in the woods are much taller and thinner, whereas ones near the edges are fatter and slightly shorter. That makes sense, because the ones deeper in the woods have to stretch for sunlight. All of the trees we've planted in our yard seem to have a pyramid shape, so I doubt they'll reach 20 feet, probably more like 15 or so, which is perfect for the home orchard in my view, especially since pawpaws drop their fruit when it's ready, so you just need something to catch them. As long as they have decent sunlight they'll grow in a wider, more pyramid shape. For ripening times, I would select earlier ripening varieties. For us, Shenandoah works great, and is ripe mid-late October. NC-1 is from Ontario, so I might suggest that one too! We're growing it here, but it hasn't fruited yet (hopefully in 2024).

You say the ones were moved several times when they were little. I have grafted KSU Chappell and Overleese. They’re in containers, I will be moving in about two or three years. Do you think they will be ok to transplant or no?

I would just grow them in the containers for a few years, then plant. The Shenendoah and NC-1 I showed were in 5 gallon nursery pots and about 4 feet tall when I planted them, and they are doing great! Only thing to be careful of is not to let the containers freeze solid in the winter, or it could kill the roots.
