8-24" Bare Root Seedling
Paw paw is a medium shrub to small tree that grows naturally in understory of woodlands along ditches, ravines, and flood plains.
Nodding dark purple flowers appear just as the leaves are appearing. As a member of the custard-apple family, the tropical-looking and tasting fruit is edible for humans and wildlife alike.
This species needs cross-pollination to set fruit so make sure to plant 2!
Height: 10-20 ft
Soils: Rich, moist, slightly acidic
Water: Flood tolerant
Light: Full sun to full shade
Wildlife: cover and fruit is relished by wildlife
