Pawpaw (2023)

Categories: ,

Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) has a 4 – 6 inch long tropical-looking fruit with a rich banana/mango flavor. Indeed, the pawpaw is the only temperate species in the Annonaceae family. When small, these trees are fragile and require a 2′ tree tube to get established. Two trees are needed for cross pollination.

We source our seed each fall from a range of the best pawpaw cultivars – all from Red Fern Farm. This ensures that the seedling trees you buy have the highest chance of producing high yields of top-notch fruit. Our nursery might be new on the block, but the orchards that we get our seed from are certainly not! These seedlings are open pollinated with grafted varieties such as ‘NC1’, ‘Pennsylvania Golden’, ‘Taytwo’, ‘Prolific’, ‘Shenandoah’, ‘Susquehanna’ and ‘Overlease’ as their mother tree.

POTTED PLANTS

WE DO *NOT* SHIP POTTED PLANTS. Potted pawpaw are grown in 4″x4″ square pots that are 9.5″ tall, specifically selected to develop a good root system on the plants. Potted must be ordered in multiples of 12.
