The Basics The paw paw tree (Asimina triloba) is a deciduous tree (and can be a shrub) native to eastern North America. It can grow to a height of 35 feet with a slight tropical look to it. It has edible fruit, possible medicinal uses, and is a good understory tree. Fruit and Seeds The conspicuous fruits begin developing after the plants flower; they are initially green, maturing in mid-September to October to a yellow or brown color. The pawpaw is the largest edible fruit native to North America. Individual fruits weigh 5 to 16 ounces and are 3 to 6 inches in length. The fruit usually has 10 to 14 seeds in two rows. The brownish to blackish seeds are shaped like lima beans, with a length of 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches. Pawpaw fruits often occur as clusters of up to nine individual fruits. Edible The yellow flesh is custard like and highly nutritious with a tropical flavor that resembles a combination of banana, mango, and pineapple. Fresh fruits of the pawpaw are commonly eaten raw, either chilled or at room temperature. However, they can be kept only 2–3 days at room temperature, or about a week if refrigerated The easily bruised pawpaw fruits do not ship well unless frozen. The fruit can be blended into ice cream or included in pancakes. Paw paws are also used for juice-making, and made into a country wine. Propagation Trees are easily grown from seed. Pawpaw seeds must receive a 90 to 120-day stratification. Sexual reproduction by seed does also occur in the wild, but at a fairly low rate. This rate can be increased by hand pollinating the flowers. Desirable kinds (cultivars) of pawpaw are propagated by whip grafting. Paw paws spread locally primarily by root suckers.
