Asimina triloba 'Mango' GRAFT #3

Fast and easy to grow, 'Mango' is great for new paw paw enthusiasts! The vivid pulp is reminiscent of mangos while the flavor is that of candied banana with hints of mango. Early ripening makes this a good pick for short season growers. Careful thinning can increase fruit size. Cross-pollination is needed to grow fruit. This can be achieved by planting a different variety nearby, 10-15' away for best results. These trees can handle full sun, but they benefit from afternoon shade, especially in the first two years. If they are planted in full sun, be sure to stay on top of watering during the first two seasons. Grafted Paw Paws grow approximately 15-20 ft. tall and wide, but you can keep them at a more manageable size by heading the trees at 8-10' and removing suckers. Hardy to Zone 5.
