The native pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is a small, deciduous tree or large shrub native to North America, prized for its uniquely tropical-tasting fruit. Often called the “American custard apple” or “Indiana banana,” the pawpaw produces soft, creamy-textured fruit with a sweet, custard flavor.
Native pawpaw are grown from seeds harvested from the wild pawpaw. Pawpaw trees typically grow1530 feet tall and thrive in hardiness zones 58. They are well-suited for moist, well-drained soils and prefer partial to full sun. Their large, drooping leaves create a lush, tropical appearance, turning bright yellow in fall.
Pawpaw trees are naturally disease-resistant and require little maintenance once established. Deer will eat the fruit once it drops and will make a ‘scrape’ on young trees or branches.
Pawpaw are a great choice for edible landscapes, wildlife gardens, and food forests. They support native pollinators, and their fruit is enjoyed by both humans and wildlife alike.
