Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) potted tree seedling, organic
$15.00 – $40.00
Family: Anonaceae
Hardy to Zones 5 to 8
Perennial deciduous tree growing to about 20 feet tall. These produce America’s largest edible fruit, the banana-like pawpaw, looking like an escape from the tropics. Tasting like banana custard, the fruit is a sedative and laxative medicine. Tree prefers part shade and a moist, slightly acidic forest soil. Our trees are seedlings grown from Kentucky State improved variety. These are seedlings from this year.
Potted plant, certified organically grown

Hi! I purchased a bunch of seeds earlier this year and just noticed you have Pawpaw! Is your nursery going to have them available this year? I have a perfect shaded understood spot in my garden here in Louisiana. Thanks!

Question

Roughly how long will these take before fruit production? And I assume they should be bought in pairs for pollination? (Or do they need another type of pawpaw to pollinate?)

Hi Marie,
It takes 4 to 8 years for a seedling to grow large enough to produce fruit. Yes. Pawpaws are generally self-incompatible, so you need two trees for cross-pollination. Plant at least two seedlings.

No, these are seedgrown, you do not need a different variety, if you plant more than one of them they will cross-pollinate and fruit. r

Hey Richo,
I just ordered you newest book and a few other things, thanks for all you’re doing there. Do you believe you’ll be shipping any of these pawpaw seedlings later this year?
