Description

Asimina triloba, commonly called pawpaw, is a small, native, deciduous tree that can grow 20 to 30 feet tall. While it typically appears in a cluster in alluvial, or other moist, nutrient-rich forests and it tolerates shade in the understory, it needs full sun to ensure fruiting. It typically grows best in well-drained, slightly acidic, fertile soil. It is a slow-growing tree that needs several years to bear fruit.
