Description
If you've ever tasted the lush fragrant pulp of a ripe pawpaw, you know how euphoric the experience can be. Tasting notes of pineapple, banana, and mango you'd surely think you were on a Hawaiian beach. But this fruit tree is native to temperate moist woodlands in Eastern North America - a fact that seems to only heighten its allure.
Pawpaws are understory trees. Try to mimic nature by giving young seedlings some shade, transitioning to more sun as they mature.
