Pawpaw (Asimina triloba)

Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) is the largest fruit native to North America, prized for its rich, tropical-tasting flesh despite being perfectly adapted to temperate climates. Native to the Carolinian zone, it thrives in forest-garden and permaculture settings. Pawpaw seeds require cold stratification to germinate: sow outdoors in fall, or stratify in the refrigerator for several months before spring sowing. With patience and nature-guided methods, pawpaws are remarkably resilient and rewarding trees to grow, offering abundance while strengthening biodiversity.
