Pawpaw (Asimina triloba)
This is your chance to plant a native fruit tree! If you have a moist area, say next to a stream or in a low spot, even better. Pawpaw is a medium-sized, multi-trunked tree reaching 30 to 40 feet and spread as a colony to 30 feet wide. For best fruiting, make sure you have two different pawpaws. Flowers attract the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly in April, and when pollinated, fruit appears in September. Pick them quickly before the squirrels do! Fruit tastes like ripe bananas and can be cooked with recipes calling for bananas.
