Mango pawpaw

Garden uses

Notes

'Mango' pawpaw (Asimina triloba 'Mango') is a tree for the food garden. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun. It grows quickly into a small tree and is grown for sweet, custardy fruit that tastes like banana, mango, and cantaloupe. The fruit ripens early and has orange-yellow skin. Plant two different seedlings or cultivars so the flowers cross pollinate and set fruit.

Pairs well with Serviceberry, Pink Lemonade blueberry, and Hazelnut.
