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

Asimina triloba ‘Susquehanna’ is a compact grafted pawpaw variety appreciated for its large, flavourful fruit and limited final height. Unlike some other pawpaw varieties, this selection remains uncluttered and grows to a maximum of around 250 cm, making it suitable for smaller gardens as well.

The pawpaw is an unusual fruit tree with an exotic character, but completely suitable for the Dutch climate. The fruit has a soft, creamy texture and a flavour often described as a combination of banana, mango and vanilla. ‘Susquehanna’ is known for its good fruit quality and even growth.

About Asimina triloba ‘Susquehanna’

In spring, the pawpaw sprouts large, fresh green leaves that give the tree a tropical look. Flowering follows with dark purple flowers, after which fruits develop when pollinated. In autumn, the leaves turn yellow before falling off. In winter, the tree is bare and dormant.

Asimina triloba grows best in a sheltered spot in sun to semi-shade, in well-drained and humus-rich soil. Young plants grow quietly at first, but then develop evenly. For good fruiting, cross-pollination with another pawpaw is recommended.
