Widely adapted and tolerant of wet soils, our native Pawpaw has been under used as a landscape tree but is attracting substantial attention. This genus is the exclusive forage plant for native Zebra Swallowtail larvae in the East. Nodding purple flowers are unlike those of any other American tree-curious with their three lobes, pollinated by flies. Perishable fruits have a memorably delicious taste, are nutritious, and resemble the tropical mango. Bold leaves turn a pleasing yellow in autumn. Our seedlings are greenhouse grown in air-pruning containers for excellent transplant success.
