Asimina triloba 'Allegheny®' GRAFT #1

Allegheny® Paw Paw boasts remarkable flavor and yields, with fruit up to 0.5 lbs in weight if thinned early. Fruit has a distinctive, creamy-yellow flesh that provides a sweet, delicious taste with a hint of citrus. Allegheny® is the first of the Peterson Pawpaw™ varieties to ripen. The fruit is smaller than other varieties, but the flavor has a big impact. Careful thinning can increase fruit size. Pollination is necessary to increase fruit set. Trees benefit from afternoon shade, and should be kept from direct sun during the first two summers.
