Pawpaw - Plant

Asimina triloba is a small deciduous fruit tree native to North America and is known for producing the largest edible fruit native to the continent. It has elongated deep-green leaves that turn attractive shades of yellow in autumn, adding ornamental value to the landscape.

The fruits have a smooth, creamy texture and a flavour often compared to a blend of banana, mango and vanilla. The tree grows slowly during its early years but becomes hardy and long-lived once established. It is an excellent choice for gardeners interested in unusual fruit species.
