A native fruit tree with large tropical-tasting harvests, bold green leaves, and golden fall color that feels quietly magical. FEATURES: Native fruit tree with large, lush green le aves that bring a tropical texture to the landscape Deep burgundy to maroon spring blooms appear before or as the foliage begins to open Produces large pawpaw fruit with creamy, custard-like flesh and sweet tropical flavor Known for excellent fruit quality, with a rich flavor often compared to banana, mango, and vanilla Green summer foliage creates a bold, leafy canopy, 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 Potomac Pawpaw with at least one other pawpaw variety nearby and design the space as a small native fruit grove, using a wide mulch ring beneath the trees and low woodland-style companions around the edges; this keeps the root zone protected, makes the planting feel finished, and gives pollination a better chance, because even a pawpaw with big-fruit energy still needs a good neighbor.
