Asimina triloba 'Wells' GRAFT #1

Delectably fruity, banana-like flavored fruit with creamy-custard, orange flesh. Unique dark-purple flowers in spring and tropical-looking foliage through fall makes it hard to believe this tree has native roots.  Paw paw trees prefer partial shade, but a warm, sunny location is ideal for ripening fruit in cooler regions. Cold-hardy to zone 4. Ripens in September. Another paw paw variety is needed for pollination; Mango, Pennsylvania Golden, Sunflower, or NC-1 are recommended.
