Paw Paw Trees (Asimina triloba) are a rare and unique fruit-bearing tree known for their hardy, edible fruit. These 6-12″ tall seedlings are perfect for USDA zones 4-9 and offer a flavorful, nutrient-packed fruit once mature. With your order, you’ll receive 3 live plants, giving you the best chance for successful pollination. As Paw Paw trees are not self-pollinating, having at least two is essential for fruit production. By ordering three, you ensure that you’ll have at least two viable plants for cross-pollination in case one doesn’t survive.
The plants are shipped during the optimal seasons: May to September when not in dormancy, and October to April when they are in dormancy. Please refer to the listing images for examples of how the plants look during both seasons. These trees grow best in moist, well-drained soil and should be planted in an area with partial to full sun exposure.
When it comes to caring for your Paw Paw trees, regular watering during dry periods and providing them with rich, well-aerated soil will promote healthy growth. They also benefit from a mulch layer to help retain moisture and maintain soil temperature. Once established, Paw Paw trees are relatively low-maintenance and can thrive in a variety of climates.
This is the ideal plant for gardeners looking to grow unique, hardy, edible fruit in their backyard.
