All I know is that it was George Washingtons favorite desert. He chilled them & cut in half & ate w/ a spoon.
Anyone else growing this?
How are your Pawpaws doing now? Do you love the fruit and what is the taste like? Do your trees produce a lot of fruit? I'm curious of what you have learned about your own trees! Happy gardening!

I am very fascinated and excited about growing Pawpaws (Asimina triloba). I also am equally fascinated and excited to be growing: Pawpaw cultivars, Echinacea purpurea 'magnus', Asclepias tuberosa Butterfly Weed, Musa basjoo Cold Hardy Banana, Lycium barbarum 'Sweet Lifeberry', Passiflora incarnata 'hardy native maypop'.

Future projects: Indigenous/native host plants for butterflies such as: Zizia aurea Golden Alexanders, Eutrochium maculatum Joe Pye Weed, Asclepias incarnata Rose Milkweed.
