A native fruit tree with tropical mango-like flavor, bold green leaves, and golden fall color for a backyard harvest with serious charm. FEATURES: Native fruit tree with large, lush green leaves that give the canopy a bold, tropical look Deep burgundy to maroon spring flowers add unusual early-season interest before the full foliage appears Produces large, creamy pawpaw fruit with sweet flavor often compared to mango, banana, and custard Vigorous grower with a naturally soft, spreading shape that feels relaxed and woodland-inspired Green summer foliage brings rich texture to the landscape, then turns yellow to gold in fall Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip: Plant Mango Pawpaw with a second pawpaw variety nearby and design the space like a small native fruit grove, using mulch beneath the trees and low woodland-style companions around the edges to keep the root zone cool, protected, and visually finished; the large tropical-looking leaves bring the drama, while the softer understory keeps the whole planting grounded, layered, and quietly magical.
