Notes

'Prolific' pawpaw (Asimina triloba 'Prolific') 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 is grown for sweet, custardy fruit with a flavor like banana, mango, and cantaloupe. Burgundy flowers open in early to late spring. You need two different seedlings or cultivars for cross pollination.

Pairs well with Granny Smith apple, Pecan, Autumn fern, and Lingonberry.
