Cold-Hardy Native Fruit Tree | Unique Tropical Flavor | Grown from Seed for Genetic Diversity

The Pawpaw tree is North America's largest native fruiting tree, producing custard-like fruit with a tropical flavor similar to banana, mango, and melon. Grown from seed for stronger genetic diversity, each tree is unique and may begin fruiting in as little as 4–6 years. A valuable choice for food forests, native plant collections, and backyard orchards.

Planting Zone:
USDA Zones 5–9. Cold-hardy and native to the eastern and southeastern U.S., including Florida and much of the Midwest and South.

Watering Needs:
Regular watering is essential, especially during the first two years. Soil should stay consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mature trees are moderately drought-tolerant but prefer even moisture for fruit production.

Soil Requirements:
Prefers rich, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Loamy soils high in organic matter are ideal. Avoid heavy clay or dry, sandy soils without amendments.

Light Requirements:
Young pawpaw trees prefer partial shade and can suffer from leaf scorch in full sun. Mature trees tolerate full sun and produce more fruit with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.

Fertilizer:
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10) in early spring. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, which can encourage leafy growth at the expense of fruiting.

Pruning & Care:
Minimal pruning is needed. Remove suckers and crossed branches in late winter to maintain shape and airflow. Pawpaw trees form a pyramidal shape naturally.

Planting Instructions:

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth.

Amend native soil with compost or organic matter to improve structure and water retention.

Plant the tree at the same depth as it was in the container.

Water deeply and apply a thick mulch layer (2–3 inches), keeping mulch several inches away from the trunk.

Consider shading young trees during their first year with light shade cloth or a taller companion plant.

Because these trees are grown from seed, we recommend planting at least two genetically distinct pawpaw trees for successful cross-pollination and fruiting. Perfect for gardeners seeking to grow something rare, delicious, and truly native.
