Asimina triloba 'Mango' (Pawpaw)

The Mango Pawpaw is among the most vigorous varieties of Asimina triloba, quickly developing into a small tree that produces large, flavourful fruit with appealing orange-yellow flesh. Native to eastern North America, pawpaws are unique members of the Annonaceae family adapted to temperate zones, closely related to tropical fruits like cherimoya and soursop. The fruit offers a distinctive banana-like taste with creamy, custard-like texture and is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Hardy to zone 5, this slow-growing tree resists pests and diseases, displays lush tropical foliage that turns bright yellow in fall, and is gaining renewed interest for its remarkable size and flavor.
