Description

We are sold out of pawpaws but you can still get our excellent genetics from Canopy Farm Management at https://canopyfm.com/nursery/pawpaw/

The pawpaw or “prairie banana” has a 4 – 6 inch long fruit that resembles a green potato, but with a rich banana/mango – like flavor. Demand for fruit exceeds supply. It is hard to believe a fruit with such a wonderful tropical-fruit flavor can grow in Iowa.

When small, these trees are very fragile and need tender loving care. (including mulch and tree shelter) to get established. ( PawPaw Special Instructions)  Two trees are needed for cross pollination.

We have two different strains of seedlings available, all in pots. We only have potted trees. The pawpaw trees will not be available till Late July or August. We DO NOT SHIP potted trees.
Varietal Pawpaw Seedlings: These seedlings are open pollinated with grafted varieties such as  ‘NC1’, ‘Pennsylvania Golden’, ‘Taytwo’, ‘Prolific’,  ‘Shenandoah’, ‘Susquehanna’ and ‘Overlease’  as their mother tree.

Shensus Pawpaw Seedlings: These seedlings have either Shenandoah or Susquehanna as their mother tree and Shenandoah or Susquehanna as the pollinizer tree. Seedlings of their crosses have produced some outstanding new genetics (Regulus, Atria, Betria).

Small, Medium and Large Pawpaws: We also now offer three sizes of  pawpaws.
Large pawpaws in a 9 inch tall pot, 4 x 4 inches square.
Medium pawpaws in a 9 inch tall pot, 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 inches square.
