Asimina triloba 'Select Seed,' also known as the Selected Common Pawpaw, is a superior variety with large, succulent fruit, only 6% seed by weight, and a smooth, custardy texture with a sweet fruity flavor and agreeable aftertaste. The highlight of this plant is its edible fruit, which can be eaten raw or cooked, and is used for making preserves, pies, ice cream, and other desserts. It is easy to grow from seed in an area with part shade and sun, and responds well to pruning. The pawpaw fruit season is usually September through October. The pawpaw is a native North American plant, and its fruit is the largest edible fruit indigenous to the United States. Try this unique tropical fruit and experience its delicious flavor for yourself.
