4 Secrets For Growing PAWPAW TREES [Pawpaw Tree Growing Guide]

In today's video, I share 4 secrets for growing pawpaw trees that are critical for success. This complete pawpaw tree growing guide tells you everything you need to know about young pawpaw tree care to set you up for a successful harvest.

The paw paw tree (Asimina triloba) produces the largest edible fruit of any fruit tree native to North America. Paw paw trees are part of the family 'Annonaceae,' which includes the custard-apple, cherimoya, sweetsop, ylang-ylang, and soursop. While those fruit trees are tropical, you can find paw paw trees growing from Zone 5 to 8 throughout the northern half of the United States, making them quite cold hardy!

Growing pawpaws is easy once trees are established, but the trees do not transplant well and are hard to establish. Because they're not well domesticated, it's critical that you follow some important steps when growing paw paws to get the young trees off on the right foot.
