Pawpaw Tree (Asimina triloba) – The Exotic Fruit Tree Adapted to Our Climate
The pawpaw tree, also known as Asimina triloba, is a unique fruit tree that produces delicious fruits with an exotic taste, often compared to a mix of banana, mango, and melon. Native to North America, the pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba) can be grown up to zone 4b, but with adequate protection. In colder regions, it is recommended to plant it in a location sheltered from cold winds and to protect young trees in winter, for example with mulch or winter protection. This will allow the tree to establish itself well and survive lower temperatures.
