The Powerful and Prolific Paw Paw:
Asimina triloba is an ancient fruit that originally evolved for a much warmer climate. Tagging along in the stomachs of ancient megafauna it found its way to North America and is now the sole member of the custard apple family to reach this far North!
If you’ve never tased a fresh Paw Paw, it’s safe to say you’ve experienced nothing like it. Full of vitamin C, magnesium, iron, copper, and manganese, these powerful and delectable fruits have the texture of pudding and an aroma ranging from mango and banana to avocado, peach, cherimoya, and guanabana.
That’s right! Asimina triloba Is a versatile and hardy plant that thrives in cooler conditions, despite having very tropical aspects. All the while it is being grown in similar climates like Central and Eastern Europe and parts of temperate Asia.
Not all wild Paw Paw patches are productive, but with the right management and pollination strategy, you will be collecting bucket loads of fruit with minimal labor year after year!
