Pawpaw

Fresh Banana Custard Flavor!

(2 customer reviews)

Growing 15-30 ft. tall, Pawpaws make attractive specimen trees with a pyramidal shape and big, tropical-looking leaves that put on a spectacular golden show in the fall. The 3- to 5-in. fruits will darken in late summer— that’s when the luscious flavor is at its peak! Potted plants. Zones 5-9.

This item ships at the proper planting time for your region in both spring and fall.

Very small plant :-(
Reviewed By: Nhat Nguyen (Woodbridge, Virginia)
Plant is only about 6 inches, very small plant compared to the other orchards (about 3 to 4 feet) for the same price. Will update next year.
