About pawpaw: The Pawpaw tree (Asimina triloba) is native to Eastern North America and produces a large fruit with thin green skin and a soft-textured, bright yellow inside. Some compare it’s flavor to banana, mango, vanilla, pineapple, and even butterscotch. This fruit is nutritious and delicious eaten raw or in smoothies, ice creams, and baked goods. Learn a little more about pawpaws with our resident horticulture technician and pawpaw enthusiast, Derek Morris, via this interview.
Why Graft: There is a wide range of flavors across native and named pawpaw fruit varieties. Grafting fruit trees, such as pawpaws allows you to select for the varieties to ensure predictable fruit quality and yield by propagating specific cultivars with desirable characteristics like larger fruit size, improved taste which wouldn’t always be guaranteed if grown from seed alone.
