A native fruit tree with tropical-tasting harvests, handsome green leaves, and golden fall color for an unforgettable edible landscape. FEATURES: Native fruit tree with a naturally tropical look, thanks to large, lush green leaves and a soft, spreading canopy Deep burgundy to maroon spring flowers appear before or as the leaves emerge, adding unusual early-season interest Produces custardy green fruit with sweet, banana-mango-like flavor when properly pollinated Big, broad foliage gives the tree a bold texture that feels almost exotic, even though it is native Fall color turns clear yellow to golden, bringing a warm glow before the tree settles into winter 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 Pawpaw in a small grove of two or three trees rather than as a single specimen, then keep the planting bed mulched and natural-looking with native perennials, ferns, or low woodland groundcovers around the base; this gives the trees a setting that feels intentional, supports better pollination, and lets the broad tropical-looking foliage create a lush, layered moment in the landscape without feeling out of place.
