Introducing Platt Hill Nursery’s Common Paw Paw tree! This unique small spreading tree is sure to turn heads in your garden! Not only is it a striking backdrop for year-round beauty and a host for the zebra swallowtail butterfly, but it also produces delicious edible fruit similar in taste to a banana/pear with a custard consistency. The sweet, rich, high in vitamins fruit is perfect for fresh eating, cooking, preserves, and even wine-making. Plus, it features unusual lightly-scented nodding purple flowers from mid to late spring and dark green deciduous foliage that turns an outstanding lemon yellow in the fall.
