SHIPPING PAUSED FOR WINTER BREAK. We’re resting and seeding up new plants for the spring! Please sign up for email (below) and we will let you know when the shop reopens.
Soil Moisture: Fertile, loose, acidic soils that are dry to moist, well draining sand or loam
Sun Exposure: Partial shade
Height: Up to 15’
Bloom Color: Light green to maroon
Bloom Time: Spring
Fauna: Larval food source for the zebra swallowtail butterfly and pawpaw sphinx moth. Fruits are eaten by birds and small mammals.
Planting Considerations: Understory small tree for a naturalistic landscape or butterfly garden. Pawpaw does not transplant well so plan on planting it in its permanent location. As it matures, it may tolerate more sun but it prefers shade.
