The American Pawpaw is North America's largest native fruit — a truly remarkable tree that produces tropical-flavored fruit right here in the heartland. With its custard-like flesh, rich banana-mango flavor, and striking large leaves, the Pawpaw is the ultimate conversation piece in any edible landscape and a fruit that has to be tasted to be believed.

Once a staple food of Native Americans and early settlers, the Pawpaw is experiencing a well-deserved revival among home growers who want something genuinely unique. It thrives in the understory and open landscapes of the Midwest and Southeast, making it ideally suited for Kentucky gardens. If you've never tasted a fresh Pawpaw, you're in for a revelation.
