Description
A fruiting tree whose mystique continues to grow every year!
In its natural environment, paw paw is a shady understory tree, which spreads by root suckers to form dense thickets.
Paw paws are cold-hardy, northern-growing trees that produce a rich and creamy tropical fruit. Most describe it as custard like. Much work has gone into breeding improved cultivars of paw paw. Even with these improvements, paw paw fruit can only be enjoyed fresh soon after ripening. The fruit bruises very easily, so it is not suitable for transport which is why you’ll never see paw paws in stores.
These “Cold Bill” seedlings come from the soon-to-be-legendary tree of Bill Schuster.
Two trees recommended for pollination.
