Description
Paw Paw (Asimina triloba): This plant can grow as a shrub or small tree and produces edible fruit that are oblong and yellowish-green, maturing to dark brown in early fall. The fruit have a sweet flavor similar to banana or papaya and can be eaten raw or used in baking. Prefers moist, slightly acidic soils and requires regular watering but is adaptable to various conditions. Pawpaw thrives in humid climates and is frost tolerant. While it can grow in full shade, it does best in full sun to partial shade. Requires cross pollination that is best accomplished by hand pollination using a soft artist’s brush to transfer pollen from another unrelated tree. Pollen is ready when the anthers are brownish, loose and crumbly. The sigma is receptive when the pistils are green, glossy and sticky, while the anthers are firm and greenish to light yellow. Height 15-30 feet, spread 15-30 feet. Zones 4-9
