Select Native Pawpaw Tree | Asimina triloba

🌱 Shipped in 3.5" x 9" deep tree pots – healthy, vigorous, and carefully grown from high-quality genetics.

These pawpaw trees are not your average wild seedlings. Each one is grown from the seed of named cultivars like ‘Sunflower’, ‘Shenandoah’, or ‘Susquehanna’—varieties known for their superior flavor, larger fruit, and better texture. While they are still seed-grown (not grafted), they have a much higher chance of producing delicious fruit with excellent qualities.

If you're planting with flavor in mind—or hoping to one day have a home orchard full of creamy, custard-like fruit—these are the pawpaws you want.

Bring a taste of the tropics to your backyard with the Pawpaw, a native fruit tree that produces soft, custard-like fruit with a banana-mango flavor. These slow-growing trees are understory natives of the Eastern U.S. and make a unique, conversation-worthy addition to food forests, edible landscapes, or permaculture gardens.
