Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largest tree fruit native to the U.S. It is also unique in its family Annonaceae (custard apples) in that it is the only member that lives in temperate climates. This is a small tree that likes partial shade. The fruit has soft, yellowy flesh encasing large, dark seeds and can be eaten with a spoon. Many people describe its flavor as a cross between a mango and a banana, with additional undertones. Though there are several cultivars that accentuate various fruit sizes and flavors, ours come from wild seedstock.
While the pawpaw’s native range is primarily centered in the Mid-West, it can be found in the wild as far east as parts of upstate New York and Pennsylvania. It has gained greater popularity outside its range in recent years and does well in New England.
While pawpaws do not have separate male and female trees, they are self-incompatible, meaning you will need at least two trees for fruit
Zones 5-9
