Size/Age: 1-year seedling, 8-12 inches tall
USDA Growing Zones: Zones 5-8
Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is North America's largest native fruit and a valuable addition to any hunting property. These 1-year seedlings will develop into understory trees that thrive along forest edges and clearings—perfect locations for deer travel corridors.
Our Pawpaw seedlings are grown from seed collected from superior wild trees known for large fruit size and productivity. Each seedling is carefully grown in a deep container to develop strong roots and ensure successful transplanting.
Pawpaw trees produce large, tropical-like fruits with a custard texture and flavor reminiscent of banana and mango. These nutritious fruits are eagerly consumed by deer, raccoons, opossums, and other wildlife in late summer to early fall, creating a natural food plot in an otherwise lean time.
Benefits for Wildlife/Hunters:
Creates natural edge habitat preferred by deer for travel and bedding
Fruits ripen in late summer/early fall when other food sources may be scarce
Provides cover and browse for deer throughout the year
Establishes a native food source that requires minimal maintenance
Planting Instructions: Plant in partially shaded locations, especially when young. Pawpaws naturally grow as understory trees along forest edges. Space 15-20 feet apart. Provide protection from direct afternoon sun during the first few years.
Care Requirements: Water regularly during establishment. Prefers rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil with consistent moisture. Apply mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
Bulk Prices:
$12 each for 5+ trees
$7 each for 25+
$4 for 100
Shipping Notes: Ships potted or bare-root depending on season. Pawpaws have sensitive root systems—plant promptly upon arrival and avoid disturbing roots during transplanting.
