Under such circumstances, the pawpaw subcanopy becomes the forest canopy, albeit at a height half as high as the usual canopy of native trees. The flowers are produced in early spring at the same time as or slightly before the new leaves appear, and have a faint fetid or yeasty smell. The fruit of the Pawpaw Tree resembles an ugly potato or a green mango and even has a mango-ish taste to it with a hint of banana or pineapple mixed in. A. triloba is a large shrub or small tree growing to a height of 35ft (11m), rarely as tall as 45ft (14m), with trunks 8–12in (20–30cm) or more in diameter.

With or without fruit, its drooping golden leaves in fall and musky, maroon flowers in spring make for a striking and structural focal point.The best method to ensure a fruit crop is to plant at least two totally different cultivars on your property (and three is even better), as well as an array of nectar-rich plants that attract pollinators. The earliest documented mention of pawpaws is in the 1541 report of the Spanish de Soto expedition, who found Native Americans east of the Mississippi River cultivating what some have identified as the pawpaw. But be aware that there are other Pawpaw varieties, cultivars, and hybrids that vary slightly from the original and offer something a little different. I found that using a long spade to sever the tap root late in the fall works great, just leave it alone to grow another season and it will develop more lateral roots.

Because the large seeds contain enough energy to produce a long taproot prior to seeking photosynthetic opportunities above ground, the seed itself will be pushed upward and into the air if shallow planted in standard pots. To encourage new growth, prune dead branches and twigs to encourage fresh growth when the new season starts.If you notice that many leaves are blocking sunlight from the fruits, then it’s time to get the shears out and snip them away.

If it weren’t for the tasty fruits, you could just walk past the Pawpaw Tree without giving it a passing glance, 2 just another shade of green in a very monochrome forest. That’s average for most trees but pales in comparison to living Oak Trees that can absorb over 10,994 of C02 over their lifetime. Stems that develop under canopy shade tend to curve and bend in quest of sunlight patches, with a greater density of small stems than where the tallest stems have captured the canopy positions.
