Description: ✅ Up for sale is one Asimina Parviflora (Small-flowered Pawpaw) tree, a 1-year-old plant approximately 5-8 inches tall. This unique shrub, native to the southeastern USA, grows in pine or oak forests and reaches a mature height of 6-8 feet. Young shoots and leaves have a rusty down, which smooths over time. In early spring, small brownish-purple, six-petaled flowers emerge, followed by edible fruit slightly smaller than other pawpaw varieties. The plant is also a primary food source for the caterpillars of the zebra swallowtail butterfly, making it ideal for wildlife gardens. ✅ This pawpaw prefers loose, well-drained soils with medium to moist conditions in partial shade. Once established, it adapts to full sun but does not tolerate dry, compacted soils. Due to its long taproot, transplanting can be challenging, so careful initial planting is recommended. As an understory tree, it thrives in open woodland settings, offering food for wildlife while producing fruit for you. ✅ For optimal fruit production, planting multiple genetic strains is advised to ensure cross-pollination. The plant ships dormant, with roots wrapped in wet media from September to April. When the plant breaks dormancy (April to September), it will be shipped in a pot with soil. ✅ California Orders: Due to state regulations, all California orders will be shipped bare root. Each plant is carefully packaged and includes tracking for all U.S. orders. ✅ Your order will arrive in good condition, if any issues occur with the item while it is on the way to you, contact us very same day with describing the issue and attach pictures of the issue so we can see it.
