Common Pawpaw fruit tree seeds

Add a taste of the tropics to your temperate garden with the common pawpaw (Asimina triloba). This unique North American native, boasting creamy, banana-like fruit, is surprisingly adaptable and a fantastic choice for the home orchardist. Pawpaws thrive in USDA hardiness zones 5-9, tolerating winter temperatures down to -20°F once established. For optimal growth and fruit production, plant in well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. While young pawpaw trees prefer the protection of partial shade for their first year or two, mature trees are most productive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to yield their delicious harvest.
