The Pawpaw tree has the largest edible fruit trees native to North America! They produce very attractive large fruits that are full of nutrients for wildlife and humans alike. The fruit has a wonderful mango like flavor making it extremely attractive especially for deer. Fruit production begins at an early age, usually just 4-8yrs. Foliage is deer resistant so they typically do not require protection from browse. Paw Paw trees require pollination for good fruit set. We recommend planting several of one type or atleast 2 different types to help with pollination.
