Pawpaw — 15 Gallon
(Asimina triloba)
The Pawpaw is one of North America’s most unique and rewarding native fruit trees. Often called the “Midwest banana tree,” it produces large, custard-like fruits with a rich tropical flavor often compared to banana, mango, and vanilla.
Despite its tropical taste, Pawpaw is fully hardy in Missouri and naturally grows in woodland areas throughout the Midwest. Its large, lush leaves give the tree a distinct tropical appearance, making it both a beautiful landscape tree and a productive fruit tree.
Pawpaws produce large green fruits that ripen in late summer to early fall, and when ripe the fruit becomes soft with sweet, creamy flesh that many consider one of the finest native fruits in North America.
A 15-gallon Pawpaw is already a well-established tree that can begin producing fruit relatively soon after planting, especially when planted near another Pawpaw for cross-pollination.
