Description
Have you heard of the pawpaw, Asimina triloba? It’s the largest native North American fruit, and it has a tropical flavor and custardy texture. The PawPaw tree has been nearly forgotten for many decades due to the short time span each year they are ripe, they were never able to be successfully commercially transported and sold. There is even a sold about pawpaws you can look up “way down yonder in the PawPaw patch”
It is best to plant at least TWO unrelated pawpaw trees to ensure pollination of your pawpaw fruit in the future. You can buy some like these natural seedlings as well as plant some grafted versions to ensure greater chances of pollination. These pawpaws are grown from seed. Look no further, we will get you hooked up with some PawPaw trees is no time!
