Common Name: Pawpaw
| Widely adapted and tolerant of damp soils, our native Pawpaw has been under-used as a landscape tree but is now attracting substantial attention. The fruits are nutritious and resemble the tropical mango. Nodding purple flowers are unlike those of any other American tree - curious in their three-lobed shape. Bold leaves turn a pleasing yellow in autumn. Our seedlings are greenhouse-grown in root-pruning containers for excellent transplant success. (Heritage Seedlings) |
