Paw Paw Tree

Species: Asimina triloba
  • Largest NATIVE fruit producer in the U.S. Native to Michigan (Paw Paw MI).  Is not regularly found this far north so no guarantees of success

 

  • This understory tree thrives because deer do not like the flavor and thus do not browse

 

  • Is NOT a self-pollinator

 

  • Grows as either a single trunk tree or a multi-stemmed bush depending on sunlight. It reproduces by sucker

 

  • Full Sun location, slightly sheltered from strong winds; rich consistently moist soil; will also grow in partial shade

 

  • Can grow to 30’ H x 20’ W depending on sunlight.  Enjoy the banana cream flavored fruit!
