Eastern Paw Paw- 1 for $26 or 3 for $70
Pawpaw trees are native to North America and are known for their fall fruit which has a custard-like texture and unique taste. Pawpaws are also the host plant for the zebra swallowtail butterfly. Pawpaws grow well in full sun or light shade and well-drained or moist soils. Trees can reach up to 30 feet in height when grown in full sun with ample moisture. Trees have a graceful pyramidal habit and are draped in light green,
8"- 12" inch-long pendulous leaves. In autumn, the leaves turn soft yellow. Provide the tree enough room to grow as young shoots sprout from the roots and colonize a large area. Remove the sprouts regularly to keep the thicket from getting too dense and blocking out sunlight. The tree is unpalatable to deer, although small wildlife will devour the ripe fruit. Plants are not self-fertile; it is beneficial to purchase two trees as cross-pollination is necessary for fruit set. 2'-3' Whips. https://plants.sc.egov.usda.gov/DocumentLibrary/plantguide/pdf/cs_astr.pdf
