Grow your own delicious North American tropical fruit with Pawpaw Tree Seeds (Asimina triloba). The pawpaw tree produces large, creamy fruits with a rich flavor often described as a blend of banana, mango, and vanilla custard. Native to the United States, pawpaw trees thrive in many climates and are becoming increasingly popular with gardeners, homesteaders, and rare fruit collectors.
Pawpaw trees are small to medium-sized deciduous trees that produce clusters of unique green fruits that ripen in late summer to early fall. Inside each fruit are several large seeds, which can be planted to grow your own pawpaw tree. These trees are also known for their large tropical-looking leaves and beautiful fall foliage, making them an excellent addition to edible landscapes.
Once established, pawpaw trees are relatively low maintenance and can produce fruit for decades. They grow best in well-drained soil with partial shade when young and full sun as they mature.
