Audubon Native Pawpaw – #3 Container 2-3 Feet

Description

The National Audubon Society presents a new line of native plants and trees that helps birds and wildlife thrive in your area! The Audubon® Native Pawpaw Tree (Asimina triloba) is a hardy beneficial native tree that’s been a hidden gem and tropical-tasting fruit-bearing shade tree for ages!

Also known as the Paw Paw these are incredibly beneficial native trees that attract a vast array of bird species. The sheltering limbs, exotic-looking foliage and tropical flavored fruit all combine into the fantastic features of this easy-care shade tree! Add a touch of fall foliage, and you can enjoy a long-lasting shade tree!

Unfortunately, Paw Paw Trees aren’t self-fertile. Their dark purplish-red, unique blossoms do need hand pollination or another Paw Paw variety in order to set fruit. The blooms however do attract flocks of pollinators and hummingbirds!

Planting and Application:

The flavorful fruit has creamy, custardy flesh, has a few large seeds that are easily removed. For your backyard birds, these trees are a late-season bounty of food before the long winter!

Plant as an understory native tree where Paw Paws enjoy the protection of partial shade, or as a specimen tree in full sun, where you’ll enjoy more fruit from it and its pollinator tree.
