Asimina Triloba ‘Shenandoah’, Pawpaw tree, 3 litre pot

Asimina triloba ‘Shenandoah’ is a grafted pawpaw variety known for its large, flavourful fruit and reliable growth. Due to grafting, this tree is varietally pure, grows evenly and usually fruits earlier than seedlings. This makes ‘Shenandoah’ a suitable choice for those who want to grow targeted pawpaws.

The pawpaw is an unusual fruit tree with an exotic appearance, but fully hardy in the Dutch climate. The fruits have a creamy texture and a sweet, aromatic flavour. ‘Shenandoah’ is often chosen for its good fruit quality and the limited number of seeds in the fruit.

About the Asimina triloba ‘Shenandoah’

In spring, the tree sprouts large, fresh green leaves that give the plant a tropical look. Flowering follows with dark purple-brown flowers. When pollinated, the characteristic pawpaw fruits develop, ripening in autumn. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow before falling off. In winter, the tree is leafless and dormant.

Asimina triloba grows best in a sheltered spot in sun to semi-shade, in a humus-rich and well-drained soil. Although ‘Shenandoah’ can be self-pollinating, cross-pollination with another variety is recommended for better and more regular yields.
