North American Paw Paw

The North American Paw Paw is a small, deciduous tree native to the eastern United States, known for its unique, custard-like fruit. The fruit has a tropical flavour, often compared to a blend of banana, mango, and melon. Paw Paw trees typically grow in moist, fertile soils and produce large, greenish-yellow fruits in autumn. They are becoming popular in gardens for their unusual fruit and as a wildlife-friendly plant.
