Don’t settle for less — receive a healthy Pawpaw Tree (Asimina triloba) 20+ inches tall, grown in a 9-inch deep air prune pot for superior root development and transplant success. This plant is potted, not bare root, giving you flexibility to plant when timing is right.

Pawpaw trees produce unique fruit with tropical flavors often compared to banana, mango, pineapple, and creamy vanilla custard. It is the only Annona species naturally adapted to temperate climates, making it a rare and rewarding addition to edible landscapes and backyard orchards.

While Pawpaw naturally grows as an understory tree, for optimal fruit production it performs best in full sun with consistent moisture once established.

Hardy to USDA Zone 5 (experimental in Zone 4) and adaptable as far south as northern Florida (Zone 8B).

Plants are grown in a rich, healthy soil mix. Small natural organisms such as worms may occasionally be present — this is normal and reflects healthy living soil.
